The dbMHC database provides an open, publicly accessible platform for DNA and clinical data related to the human Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). The need to share research and clinical data focused on the MHC has led to a series of meetings such as the International HLA WorkShop & Congress (IHWC). The data generated within these workshops has proven to be valuable for the international HLA research community. To make these data easily available, the NCBI has committed itself to building dbMHC in close cooperation with the 13th IHWC. The goal is to display and maintain a permanent archive that contains the data generated within the 13th IHWC. In addition, dbMHC will provide tools for further submission and analysis of research data linked to the MHC.
