- Entrez
- Entrez
is a search and retrieval system that integrates information
from databases at NCBI. These databases include nucleotide
sequences, protein sequences, macromolecular structures,
whole genomes, and MEDLINE, through PubMed.
- European
Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
- The
EMBO Journal is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts
from the field of molecular biology in its broadest
sense. To be acceptable, manuscripts should contain
novel results of significant general interest that provide
new functional insight into molecular or cellular processes.
- ExPASy
(Expert Protein Analysis System)
-
A server of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB)
dedicated to the analysis of protein sequences and structures
as well as 2-D PAGE.
- The
Genome Database
- GDB's
mission is to make available to scientists an encyclopedia
of the human genome that is being constantly revised
and updated to reflect the current state of scientific
knowledge. Although GDB has historically focussed on
gene mapping, as the Genome Project moves from mapping
to sequence to functional analysis, GDB's focus will
be broadened. Extensions are under development in the
representation of sequence-level genome content, including
sequence variations, along with richer descriptions
of function and phenotype.
- National
Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
- Established
in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology
information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts
research in computational biology, develops software
tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical
information - all for the better understanding of molecular
processes affecting human health and disease.
- NCI
(National Cancer Institute) PDQ
(Physician Data Query)
- PDQ,
NCI's comprehensive cancer database, contains peer-reviewed
summaries on cancer treatment, screening, prevention,
genetics, and supportive care; a registry of approximately
1,800 open and 10,300 closed cancer clinical trials
from around the world; and directories of physicians,
professionals who provide genetics services, and organizations
that provide cancer care.
- Pedro's
Molecular Biology Tools
- A grand list (available in text-only
format) that is divided into parts, with resources listed
alphabetically within each part. There's a coding system
to mark the usefulness of each link, but it should be
noted that Pedro's MB Tools page hasn't been updated
since 1996. This doesn't mean the links themselves are
out of date, of course. Part 1: Molecular Biology Search
and Analysis; Part 2: Bibliographic, Text and WWW Searches;
Part 3: Guides, Tutorials and Help Tools; Journals;
Extras.
- Community
of Science
- Products and services for promoting
research, finding funding, accessing experts, consulting,
and collaborating with colleagues. Researchers rely
on COS to help them stay current on research activities,
news and publications; track funded research; and purchase
supplies and services that are relevant to their work.
- Protocols
Online
- Search for protocols used in molecular
biology, cell biology, immunology, developmental biology.
- PubMed
- Combined site with Entrez (above).
- Careers
in Science
- The Careers in Science page hasn't
been updated recently, but the employment links themselves
are kept current.
- National
Institutes of Health (NIH)
- General information, funding, news,
resources, institutes and centers making up the NIH.
- Protein
Data Bank (PDB)
- Research Collaboratory for Structural
Bioinformatics. The PDB is the single international
repository for the processing and distribution of 3-D
macromolecular structure data primarily determined experimentally.
