AllerGAtlas is a manually curated database for human allergy-related genes.Allergy is a detrimental hypersensitive response to innocuous environmental antigen ,which is caused by the effect of interaction between environmental factors and multiple genetic predisposition. Hundreds of allergy-related genes have been identified to illustrate the epidemiology and pathogenesis of allergic diseases,which are associated with better endophenotype, novel biomarkers,early-life risk factors and individual differences in treatment responses. Here we present a database containing 1,195 well-annotated human allergy-related genes, determined by text-mining and manual curation.
