Tools are under development to aid scientist, physicians, and the public in the sythesis, interpretation, and dissemination of findings in human genetic variation in health and disease. One mechanism is the Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet™) (http://hugenavigator.net/HuGENavigator/home.do). Since 2001, HuGENet™ has maintained a searchable database of published, population-based epidemiologic studies of human genes extracted and curated from PubMed. This website allows the user to search by disease and gene with the goal of aiding in the translation and integration of genomics into public health research, policy, and practice.
