The new Human Genome Resources portal offers access to visualization and analysis tools available for the human genome, as well as other relevant tools like BLAST, the NCBI Genome Remapping Service, and databases that provide human molecular data. The extensive listing of learning resources is sorted into the categories of Find, View, Download, and Learn, and is designed to provide a better understanding of the wealth of information associated with the human genome. Specific goals that can be accomplished by using the site include:

• Finding information on individual genes that NCBI RefSeq staff annotate on the human genome assemblies and are archived in the Gene database.
• Visualizing and analyzing the genome by accessing individual chromosomes in the Genome Data Viewer and other available viewers.
• Comparing your sequences with the sequences of the human genome assemblies (BLAST).
• Navigating to the clinical and variation data through the complete listing of NCBI’s clinical and variation resources.
• Accessing details about the human genome assemblies and annotation.
• Accessing various large datasets for download on the NCBI FTP site.
• Remapping annotation data between different assemblies (NCBI Genome Remapping Service).
