ABSTRACT

The progressive narrowing of the gap among the advances derived from the human genome sequencing and their potential clinical applications is to be expected. The dissemination of information on bioinformatics and its usefulness for healthcare applications is crucial in the development of skills by health professionals in the use of available and perspective bioinformatics resources. The website Bioinformatics for Health http://blogs.sld.cu/oserranob/) was designed to publish contents related to this area and its medical applications. Hyperlinks were created to connect the genes, diseases and chromosomes mentioned in the notes posted at the websites from Las Tunas Provincial Center of Medical Genetics to the Gene, OMIM and Ensembl resources. Access to several databases, algorithms and journals on bioinformatics is provided. The websites are updated by sending messages with the new posts by electronic mail to the National Network of Genetics. The inclusion of bioinformatics in medical genetics information management is aimed at promoting knowledge about such discipline among the medical and paramedical personnel within the Cuban health system.
