Entrez The integrated, text-based search and retrieval system used at NCBI for the major databases, including PubMed, Nucleotide and Protein Sequences, Protein Structures, Complete Genomes, Taxonomy, and others. Diagram showing Entrez databases and the relationship between them.
ClinicalTrials.gov ClinicalTrials.gov provides regularly updated information about federally and privately supported clinical research in human volunteers. Provides patients, family members, and members of the public easy and free access to information on clinical studies for a wide range of diseases and conditions.
FlyBase FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. FlyBase includes data on all species from the family Drosophilidae; the primary species represented is Drosophila melanogaster.


FlyBase is produced by a consortium of researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health, U.S.A., and the Medical Research Council, London. This consortium includes both Drosophila biologists and computer scientists at Harvard University, University of Cambridge (UK), Indiana University, University of California, Berkeley, and the European Bioinformatics Institute.
Community of Science Find funding, identify experts and collaborators, showcase your research and expertise among researchers and scholars from universities, corporations and nonprofits in more than 170 countries. Use convenient tools to keep your CV updated and accessible.
OMIM Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man. This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The database contains textual information and references. It also contains copious links to MEDLINE and sequence records in the Entrez system, and links to additional related resources at NCBI and elsewhere.
GeneLoc Loc presents an integrated map for each human chromosome, based on data integrated by the GeneLoc algorithm. GeneLoc includes further links to GeneCards, NCBI's Human Genome Sequencing, UniGene, Genome Database, and mapping resources. Formerly known as The Unified Database for Human Genome Mapping (UDB)
PubMed PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, includes over 15 million citations for biomedical articles back to the 1950's. These citations are from MEDLINE and additional life science journals. PubMed includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources. NLM's controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles for MEDLINE/PubMed is called MeSH. This terminology provides a consistent way to retrieve information that may use different terminology for the same concepts. MeSH tutorials.
PubMed Central PubMed Central (PMC) is the U.S. National Library of Medicine's free digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. All journals in PMC provide free access to full text (sometimes on a delayed basis).
SCISEARCH® A Cited Reference Science Database is an international, multidisciplinary index to the literature of science, technology, biomedicine, and related disciplines produced by Thomson (ISI®). SciSearch contains all of the records published in the Science Citation Index® (SCI®), plus additional records in engineering technology, physical sciences, agriculture, biology, environmental sciences, clinical medicine, and the life sciences.
ToxNet A cluster of databases on toxicology, hazardous chemicals, and related areas. The TOXNET "Multiple Databases" option allows for simultaneous searching of HSDB, IRIS, CCRIS, and GENE-TOX.
