UniGene is an NCBI database of the transcriptome and thus despite the name not primarily a database for genes. Each entry is a set of transcripts that appear to stem from the same transcription locus (i.e. gene or expressed pseudogene). Information on protein similarities gene expression cDNA clones and genomic location is included with each entry.Descriptions of the UniGene transcript based and genome based build procedures are available.
