Statistics & downloads help

Statistics & files

The Statistics & downloads page contains tables with breakdown statistics by locus group and locus type of the number of approved symbol reports we have within the database. The tables also contain icons shown below, which enable users to download the data in text (tsv) or JSON format, or link to our custom download application for the chosen dataset. Genes annotated on alternative loci included in the GRC Reference Assembly are shown separately in the second table.

The icons are as follows:

Above the tables there is a drop down menus that allow you to select a specific chromosome which will change the table statistics to show the data for the selected chromosome.

Beneath the tables we also have text (tsv) and JSON files for our complete HGNC dataset, our gene groups dataset and our locus specific database links set.
