The Immunogenetic Related Information Source (IRIS) is a database of all known human defence genes, produced in the laboratory of Professor John Trowsdale at the University of Cambridge. IRIS currently includes chromosomal locations, curated functional annotations, and sequence data for over 1,500 functional human immune genes, which represent over 7% of the human genome. We hope IRIS will be a useful resource for your research.
