Domain Mappings of Disease Mutations: http://bioinf.umbc.edu/dmdm
Domain Mapping of Disease Mutations (DMDM) is a database in which each disease mutation can be displayed by its gene, protein, or domain location. DMDM provides a unique domain-level view where all human coding mutations are mapped on the protein domain.

Extraction of Mutations: http://bioinf.umbc.edu/emu
Extractor of Mutations (EMU) is an exciting project in which undergraduates from different fields work together on building a database of human mutations related to disease. At the core of the project is a text-mining method to extract mutations and a MetaMap/MeSH index searches to map diseases. See our EMU team at: http://bioinf.umbc.edu/lab_members.php (no programming experience required for pre-med, biology, biochemistry majors).
