Finding Information about Genomes

NCBI: Genomic Biology - genomic biology tools and resources, including organism-specific pages that include links to many web sites and databases relevant to that species.

Genome News Network: Quick Guide to Sequenced Genomes - illustrated field guide to the more than 180 creatures whose genomes have been sequenced.

Gold Genomes Online Database - comprehensive access to information regarding complete and ongoing genome projects around the world.

Genome.gov: Genome Sequencing Proposals - information about projects approved for sequencing.

 

Genomes in the News

GeneRef.com - genomics, bioinformatics, and proteomics news

Genome News Network - covers important developments in genomics research around the world.

Omics Gateway (Nature Publishing Group) - gateway to papers published in Nature as well as News and Views and Commentary articles covering the most significant papers published elsewhere.

 

Finding Journal Articles

Web of Science - For cited reference searching on a key paper as well as general subject and author searches.

PubMed - Search for articles published on your topic in the biomedical literature.

 

Getting Articles We Don't Have

To get articles from journals not available at Bryn Mawr use the Article Delivery button on the Interlibrary Loan/EZ-Borrow web page.

Your Bryn Mawr ID will allow you to get into the University of Pennsylvania libraries. You are able to photocopy there, but cannot check out books.

You can access the catalogs of other libraries by selecting "Other Libraries" on the Tripod Library Catalog web page.
