Gastrointestinal Cancer Database (GICDB) is a repository of genetic association studies on gastrointestinal cancer which allows researchers to interpret the risk factors of the disease accurately and provide new insights towards further work. GICDB has been developed to provide a platform to clinicians and researchers for the easy retrieval of appropriate information. All data are stored and managed in MySQL and web interface has been developed in ASP. Currently, the database integrates information of 463 genes and 713 miRNA; these genes are implicated in the diverse phases of various gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. GICDB is distinct from other databases in that: (i) it consists of information on genes and miRNAs involved in various GI cancers; (ii) data in GICDB are linked to other on-line resources such as Entrez, Ensemble, UniGene, Swiss-Prot and On-Line Mendelian Inheritance in Man; (iii) there is information on GI cancer-associated drugs retrieved from DrugBank, and (iv) it also integrates the information related to medicinal plants and their use in the treatment of different GI cancers with the structure of their chemical constituents. Unambiguously this database would provide a platform to retrieve genuine information for researchers working on GI cancer. GICDB can be freely accessed at http://gidb.subdic-bioinformatics-nitrr.in/.
