National Center for Biotechnology Information
(Includes GenBank) A component of the National Library of Medicine
whose mission is to develop new information technologies to aid in the understanding of
fundamental molecular and genetic processes which control human health and disease.
Includes databases for expressed sequence tags, sequence tagged sites,
gene map of the human genome, and the cancer genome anatomy project
Joint Genome Institute The largest
single-site research efforts in the DOE's human genome research
program have been the three genome centers at Los Alamos, Lawrence Berkeley,and Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratories. In late 1996, the DOE and the directors of these three
laboratories decided to merge these centers into a single effort, the Joint Genome
Institute (JGI). The JGI was formally established on January
1, 1997. The basic motivation was to create a research program with sufficient focus,
breadth of capability, and critical mass to meet the newly emerging challenges of the
Human Genome Project.
GenBank: National Center for
Biotechnology Information (direct link) The U.S. genetic sequence
database, an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences. It is part of
the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration and lists over one billion
bases in nearly two million sequence records.
The WWW Virtual
Library: Genetics A catalog of primarily human and plant genetics
resources arranged by organismal category. Includes direct links to WWW sites devoted to
genome projects, databases, stock centers and major conferences.
Agricultural Genome Information System (AGIS)
The AGIS server is produced cooperatively by the Genome Informatics Groups of
the NAL and the Dept. of Plant Biology of the University of Maryland. It includes
information on genomic research, and related links to agriculturally important plants,
animals and microorganisms.
GrainGenes
The Captain Kangaroo pun
aside, this is a genetic database for wheat, barley, rye, oats and sugarcane. Includes
lists of genes, alleles, DNA probes, genetic and physical maps of chormosones etc. Also
includes references to cited literature and addresses of researchers involved in the
project.
