OMIA is fundraising:
From 18 March 2019, users will see a fundraising popup once a month when they access this website. The popup is also viewable anytime from the Donate tab on the home page. OMIA's venture into this form of fundraising follows that of OMIM (on which OMIA is modelled) which has been conducting a popup-fundraising scheme since 2016. It is hoped to raise sufficient funds to retain a part-time software engineer for maintenance and enhancements, and (in the longer term) to retain a part-time head curator when Frank Nicholas is no longer able to fulfil that role.

ANOTHER OMIA UPGRADE!:
Yet another major upgrade of OMIA was launched on 14th November 2018. The new version reflects a comprehensive upgrade of the computing infrastructure, including establishment of a secure https protocol. It also includes a text-mining tool for curators that will greatly enhance the efficiency of curation. The tool starts with daily PubTator annotations of PubMed abstracts, and then feeds selected abstracts into a pipeline that includes a taxonomy filter and screening by a machine-learning classifier. The result is around 5 PubMed IDs being deposited into the OMIA publication curation tool each day, from the approximately 5000 new abstracts added to PubMed each day. The upgrade also includes a few specific enhancements, such as presenting the results of all searches in tabular form. Due to illness of the software engineer who developed these specific enhancements, some of them (including the tables) are not yet fully functional.

Welcome to OMIA

Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) is a catalogue/compendium of inherited disorders, other (single-locus) traits, and genes in 244 animal species (other than human and mouse and rats, which have their own resources) authored by Professor Frank Nicholas of the University of Sydney, Australia, with help from many people over the years. OMIA information is stored in a database that contains textual information and references, as well as links to relevant PubMed and Gene records at the NCBI, and to OMIM and Ensembl.

OMIA is manually curated by a team of specialists. If you see an error or wish to submit an entry, please contact us.

To join the OMIA Support Group, register at OMIA Support Group.

From 1st September 2011, the OMIA ID is binomial, with the format OMIA xxxxxx-yyyy.., where xxxxxx is the 6-digit number for a trait/disorder, and yyyy.. is the NCBI species taxonomy id (usually four digits, but sometimes longer).
