PubMed - for WSU users

The PubMed database is a product of the National Center for Biotechnology Innovation (NCBI) that contains over 33 million citations for biomedical literature. It covers the biomedicine and health fields, and related disciplines such as life sciences, behavioral sciences, chemical sciences, and bioengineering. Many of the citations include links to full text content from PubMed Central and publisher web sites; when logged in on campus or through WSU, you can access them through FindIt@WSU.

Tutorial

PubMed Basics
In this introduction to PubMed, you'll learn the basics in finding quality literature to support your research. We will cover My NCBI accounts, MeSH terms, and effective strategies for a successful search. [23:21]

NCBI Informatics Databases for Biochemistry

Gene
Contains names, reference sequences, and connected data on expression, structure, and function of genes from thousands of species ranging from viruses to bacteria to eukaryotes.
Genome
Contains sequence and map data from the whole genomes of over 1000 species or strains spanning bacteria, archaea, eukaryota, viruses, phages, plasmids, and organelles. The genomes represent both completely sequenced genomes and those with sequencing in-progress.
Nucleotide
Contains nucleotide sequence data from several sources (including GenBank, EMBL, RefSeqs, and PDB)
OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man)
Allows searching of the OMIM database of articles about human genes, genetic disorders, and inherited traits, with links to associated literature references, sequence records, maps, and related databases.
Protein
Contains amino acid sequences created from translating coding regions described in nucleotide records in multiple databases, including GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ, as well as protein-specific resources including UniProt, Protein Research Foundation (PRF), and the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

PubChem (NCBI)
PubChem provides information on the biological activities of small molecules. PubChem is organized as three linked databases - PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay. PubChem also provides a fast chemical structure similarity search tool.

Structure
Contains experimental data from crystallographic and NMR structure determinations deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB).
