Biology: Websites

A partnership of scientists and funding agencies from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States to develop a public resource that will help researchers find genes associated with human disease and response to pharmaceuticals.

Provided by Cold Spring Harbor Lab DNA Learning Center, shows common genetic lab techniques.

Offers a dual timeline, with scientific events (especially those relevant to classical genetics) presented against those of general historical and cultural interest.

The NIH genetic sequence database, an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences

A compilation of generic names published for organisms covered by the ICN: International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants.

1685 photographs of 513 wildflower species, for flower-lovers.

A database of the names and associated basic bibliographical details of seed plants, ferns and lycophytes.

A freely accessible portal to historic botanical literature from the Missouri Botanical Garden Library.

Contains all of the nomenclatural, bibliographic, and specimen data accumulated in Missouri Botanical Garden’s electronic databases during the past 25 years are publicly available here. This system has over 1.2 million scientific names and 4.0 million specimen records.

Information on amino acids with emphasis also on biochemistry. Guides provided by Rockefeller University.

Website that provides a virtual library for Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology. Very broad and diverse range of information with examples and other supporting information.

An Informational Resource for Cell and Molecular Biologists with research and educational material.

International scientific research project with goals to determine the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up the human DNA and to identify and map the approximately 20,000–25,000 genes of the human genome.

A repository of three-dimensional structural information about nucleic acids. Simple and advance search functions, with free downloadable tools and software.

Peptide database provided by Harvard University with simple and advance searching engines. Only peptides that are 20 amino acids or shorter are stored. Only peptides with available sequences are stored.

Website designed for information and research in the field of protein chemistry. References on tutorials , new chemical research and methods.

The PDB archive contains information about experimentally-determined structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and complex assemblies. Users can also perform simple and advanced searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and functions.
