Biomedical Literature
- PubMed
- Biomedical journal literature. See MEDLINE/PubMed Resources for more information. Learn how to find full text articles in PubMed.
- PubMed Central
- A digital archive of life sciences journal literature.
- LocatorPlus Online Catalog
- LocatorPlus is the Library's online catalog containing catalog records for books, audiovisuals, journals, computer files, and other materials in the Library's collections.
Biomedical Topics
Computational Molecular Biology
- BLAST
- A tool that finds regions of similarity between biological sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence databases and calculates the statistical significance.
- GenBank
- A database of nucleotide sequences.
- Molecular Structure and Function
- A database of macromolecular 3D structures, as well as tools for their visualization and comparative analysis.
- Taxonomy Database
- A database of taxonomic names of lineages of organisms represented in NCBI's sequence databases.
- Conserved Domain Database (CDD)
- A database to identify the conserved domains present in a protein sequence.
- Reference Sequences (RefSeq)
- A collection of reference sequences for genomes, gene transcripts, and proteins.
- Vector Alignment Search Tool (VAST)
- A computer algorithm developed at NCBI and used to identify similar protein 3-dimensional structures ("similar structures") by purely geometric criteria and to identify distant homologs that cannot be recognized by sequence comparison.
Health Data Standards and Natural Language Processing
- Health Information Technology and Health Data Standards at NLM
- Clinical vocabulary standards and tools that support implementation of Meaningful Use, C-CDA, and other programs
Human Genome Resources
- Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
- A guide to genes and inherited disorders.
- A guide to genes and inherited disorders.
- Gene
- Gene integrates information from a wide range of species. A record may include nomenclature, Reference Sequences (RefSeqs), maps, pathways, variations, phenotypes, and links to genome-, phenotype-, and locus-specific resources worldwide.
