Resources for students

In addition to the textbook(s) assigned for BIO 220, I will try to point out additional resources that may be of interest as we move through various course topics.


Some web resources of note:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (database search)
PubMed – literature search
BLAST – homology search
GenBank (DDBJ, EMBL) – nucleotide sequences
OMIM – genetic diseases
Books – biomedical textbook search

www.expasy.ch (protein sequences)
www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb (enzyme nomenclature)
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure (MMDB, NCBI’s database of 3D structures)
rebase.neb.com (restriction enzymes)
