SOURCE was a unification tool which dynamically collected and compiled data from many scientific databases, and attempted to encapsulate the genetics and molecular biology of genes from the genomes of Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus into easy to navigate GeneReports.

The mission of SOURCE was to provide a unique scientific resource that pooled publicly available data commonly sought after for any clone, GenBank accession number, or gene. SOURCE was specifically designed to facilitate the analysis of large sets of data that biologists are producing using genome-scale experimental approaches.

SOURCE was written at Stanford and hosted there from 2004-2015. It was then moved and hosted by Princeton University from 2015-2024. The supporting database was last updated on June 10, 2015.

NOTICE: After 20 years of service, this SOURCE search website was retired on July 8, 2024. Many of the external resources it was reliant on have been retired over the years. If you have any comments or questions, please direct them to retired-lsi@princeton.edu.
