Deathbase is a database of proteins involved in different Cell Death processes. It is aimed to compile relevant data on the function, structure and evolution of this important cellular process in several organisms. Information contained in the database is subject to manual curation.
DeathBase is developed and maintained through an AICR - funded joint effort of the comparative genomics group at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) and Cristina Muñoz-Pinedo group at the IDIBELL in Barcelona.
