DNA and Medicine

• PubMed—PubMed is a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine that includes over 16 million citations from MEDLINE and other life science journals for biomedical articles back to the 1950s. PubMed includes links to full text articles and other related resources.
• National Human Genome Research Institute Health Site—Information about genetic and rare diseases, and genetic research to improve health.
• DNA Vaccines—DNA immunization uses the genes for viral antigens, rather than the antigens themselves, as the source of immunogen. In DNA immunization, the host is immunized by direct administration of viral genes; the genes are composed of DNA that encode for the antigen that would normally be produced by the cell infected with the virus.
