Tips for Searching Gene, Genome & Protein Information
Overwhelmed by the number of databases that the National Center for Biotechnology Information has to offer on nucleotide sequences, genes and proteins? Wondering which database you should always start with? Would you like to learn how to set up an NCBI account to link articles in PubMed to records in other databases? Do you knowContinue reading “Tips for Searching Gene, Genome & Protein Information”
NCBI BioSystems Database now available
The NCBI BioSystem, a new pathways database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosystems/) is now public. The database can be searched directly or accessed via links from databases such as Entrez Gene, Protein, PubChem Compound, and more. This free resource may be a good solution for researchers who can’t afford Ingenuity Pathways or similar products. Ready to get started? AContinue reading “NCBI BioSystems Database now available”
