UVGD is a manual curation database for ultraviolet-related genes. Exposing to ultraviolet for a certain time always triggers some significant molecular effects in organisms. Hundreds of genes have been identified to be responsible for the molecular biology effect of ultraviolet radiation. In the current version of UVGD, there are 663 ultraviolet-related genes collected by literature-mining and manual curation.
