Cells and Molecules
The Biological Sciences guide has more information about everything Biology.
Here is the list of all biology-related databases.
- BIOSIS Previews is the major database for the life sciences
- Bergey's ManualThis link is for all of the volumes that we have, both print and online, sorted by date with the most recent first.
- ProkaryotesOnline version of the 2006 edition of Dworkin's set of 7 volumes.
- EcoSalInfo on E. coli and Salmonella.
The NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information, at the National Institutes of Health) has many databases related to human health, genes, genomes, proteins, and more (scroll down to NCBI Databases).
Look below for links to some well-known catalogs of genes and disorders.
- Online Mendelian Inheritance in ManCatalog of human genes and genetic disorders
- OMIA: Online Mendelian Inheritance in AnimalsCatalog of inherited disorders, other single-locus traits, and genes in more than 200 animal species (other than humans, rats, and mice). [from U. Sydney, Australia]
- KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)Genes, diseases, ligands, chemicals, drugs, pathogens, and much more.
- Human Protein Reference DatabaseOn the left, click BROWSE to see lists of Molecule Class, Domains, Motifs, PTM's, and Localizations. Also on the left are Human Proteinpedia, Pathways, and PhosphoMotif Finder.
