BioSystemsDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosystems

The NCBI BioSystems database centralizes and cross-links existing biological systems databases, increasing their utility and target audience by integrating their pathways and systems into NCBI resources. This integration allows users of NCBI's Entrez databases to quickly categorize proteins, genes and small molecules by metabolic pathway, disease state or other BioSystem type.

BLASTTool Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance of matches. BLAST can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families.

dbSNPDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/

Repository for both single base nucleotide subsitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms; NCBI collaboration with NHGRI.

Entrez GeneDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene

Entrez Gene is NCBI's database for gene-specific information. Entrez Gene maintains records from genomes which have been completely sequenced, which have an active research community to submit gene-specific information, or which are scheduled for intense sequence analysis.

Genotyping - NCBITool Content

http://www.ncbi.nih.gov/projects/genotyping/formpage.cgi

The Genotyping tool at the NCBI identifies the genotype (or subtype) of viral sequences by using a sliding window approach to BLAST analysis against reference sequences for different viral subtypes. Results are shown as a graphical output plotting the top-scoring genotype. An alignment tool is also available.

NCBI BookshelfDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books

Searchable collection of biomedical books linked to terms in PubMed abstracts; when viewing an abstract, click on Books link to see phrases in abstract hyperlinked to book sections.

NCBI C++ toolkitTool Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?call=bv.View..ShowTOC&rid=toolkit.TOC&...

The NCBI C++ Toolkit is a collection of C++ modules developed by the NCBI for writing bioinformatics software and applications.

NCBI Clone RegistryDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/clone/

A database that integrates information about genomic clones and libraries, including sequence data, genomic position, and distributor information.

NCBI EpigenomicsDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/epigenomics

The Epigenomics database is a resource for whole-genome epigenetic data sets. Raw data is processed and mapped to genomic coordinates to generate 'tracks' that are a visual representation of the data. These data tracks can be viewed using popular genome browsers or downloaded for local analysis. The Epigenomics resource also provides the user with a unique interface that allows for intuitive browsing and searching of data sets based on biological attributes.

NCBI GEODatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/

The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database stores over 20,000 microarray- and sequence-based functional genomics studies, and continues to handle the majority of direct high-throughput data submissions from the research community. Multiple mechanisms are provided to help users effectively search, browse, download and visualize the data at the level of individual genes or entire studies.

NCBI Influenza Virus Sequence Annotation ToolTool Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/FLU/Database/annotation.cgi

The NCBI Influenza Virus Sequence Annotation Tool is a web application for user-provided sequences. It can predict protein sequences encoded by an input flu sequence and produce a feature table that can be used for sequence submission to GenBank.

OMIMDatabase Content

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=OMIM

Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man; catalog of human genes and genetic disorders with descriptive text, references, and links to many NCBI resources including GenBank and PubMed.
