DNA and RNA
The Broad Institute, a collaboration of MIT, Harvard and the Whitehead Institute of Biomedical Research, has released the sequenced genome of a female boxer, Tasha. The project is described in the December 8, 2005 issue of Nature.
A database of Drosophila genes and genomes with various analytical tools including BLAST and GBrowse. Developed by the Biology Department at Indiana University with funding from the National Human Genome Research Institute.
GenBank, National Center for Biotechnology Information
A public archive of DNA and RNA sequences that is searchable by keywords, including organism, gene name, and genome project. Do search through Entrez Nucleotide and look for accession numbers starting with letters other than N. Compare to RefSeq, listed below.
Human Genome Project: Gene Gateway
A portal to guides and tutorials that explain how to use the many tools developed to analyze the huge volume of data about the human genome. The tools explained include: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), National Center for Biotechnology Information's (NCBI) GenBank, and many more.
International Sequencing Consortium
This site provides a database of all genome projects in progress throughout the world. Find out which groups are sequencing which organisms and who is funding the research.
RefSeq, National Center for Biotechnology Information
A collection of curated DNA, RNA and protein sequences that is searchable by keywords, including organism, gene name and genome project. The best sequence for each gene from an organism is chosen from GenBank, confirmed, and references from further work are added. Do search through Entrez Nucleotide and look for accession numbers containing an underscore.
Rhesus Macaque Genome Resources
The rhesus macaque genome sequence was published in April 2007. Use these tools at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) to explore the primate genome.
