HDNetDB: A Molecular Interaction Database for Network-Oriented Investigations into Huntington’s Disease
Abstract Huntington’s disease (HD) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin gene. Although HD is monogenic, its molecular manifestation appears highly complex and involves multiple cellular processes. The recent application of high thro...
