Genomics and Proteomics Subject Guide

I. Information Hubs and Research Articles

1. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)

2. EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database

3. DNA Data Bank of Japan

4. UniProt
This is a centralized, authoritative resource for protein sequences and functional information with source attribution and minimal redundancy. UniProt has been created by joining the information contained in Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, and PIR.

5. Protein Data Bank
This resource is the single worldwide repository for the processing and distribution of 3-D biological macromolecular structure data.

6. Nucleic Acids Research
Archives of selected issues are available online the January and July of 2003, Vol. 31 (#1 & #31), are dedicated to updates on genomic and proteomic information resources.

7. Ensembl
This site produces and maintains automatic annotation on eukaryotic genomes such as the human, mouse, rat, fugu, zebrafish, mosquito, Drosophila, C. elegans, and C. briggsae.

8. Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment (STKE)
STKE seeks to identify and develop a mix of tools and approaches for providing information on cell signaling.

9. Genetics Abstracts
The amalgamation of recombinant DNA technology with traditional genetics has sparked a proliferation of specialized journals and primary papers - heralding an era of immensely diversified research directions. Since recent studies have shown that research work conducted in one organism is relevant to many other experimental systems, scientists need a practical means for keeping up with wide-ranging findings that are important to their own studies. Genetics Abstracts provides that means, sifting the worldwide literature for significant advances as they happen and forging an essential link among different systems.
