Interferome is an online bioinformatics database of interferon-regulated genes (IRGs).
It is used by the interferon and cytokine research community [2] both as an analysis tool and an information resource.
However, their involvement in immunomodulation, cell proliferation, inflammation and other homeostatic processes has been since identified.
These cytokines are used as therapeutics in many diseases such as chronic viral infections, cancer and multiple sclerosis.
This database of interferon regulated genes is an attempt at integrating information from high-throughput experiments and molecular biology databases to gain a detailed understanding of interferon biology.
