The GDB Human Genome Database was a community curated collection of human genomic data. What set GDB apart from other biological databases was its use of world-class leaders in human genetics to act as curators for the data. In order to ensure a high degree of quality, records within GDB were subjected to a process of peer-review, not unlike a traditional publication. Due to the International collaboration which made up the human genome project, GDB received funding from numerous sources in both Europe and Asia.
