Searching GenBank with BLAST and Entrez
NCBI, home of Genbank, provides BLAST (sequence homology). STOP PRESS: Try using MoBiCS BLAST.
BLAST Database
Searches at NCBI (via Cambs)
BLAST searches at NCBI again, but the form comes from Cambridge rather than Washington DC.
The National Centre for
Genome Research GSDB Home Page
The Gene Sequence Data Base home page (another DNA database!)
European Bioinformatics Institute
(EBI)
The EBI (home of EMBL and second home of SWISSPROT). Access to SRS, FASTA and BLITZ (a protein only version of MPSRCH) searches.
EMBL Sequence Submission by WWW.
The fastest way to get your sequences into
EMBL (according to EBI).
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)
European Molecular Biology Laboratory (previous home of EMBL), including
a number of secondary structure prediction servers here.
GeneQuiz
Automated analysis of genomes to identify function. Currently, data
about Hermophilis influenzae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mycoplasma genitalium so far.
ExPASy, first home of SWISSPROT and PROSITE.
Home to some useful features, like SWISS-MODEL
(returns 3D coordinates of proteins) and SWISS-SHOP (looks for similar proteins and keeps your request on file for up to a year). There are also Swiss Jokes!
Cambridge School of Biological Sciences
Useful links to a number of search engines and that famous coffee machine
Computational Biology Research Group (CBRG)
Based in Zurich, and home of Darwin, and other search engines
Eerie in France
A french site with fast links to some local homology search engines, including BLAST and FASTA
The BIOCELLERATOR home page
Fast Smith-Waterman exhaustive searches, profilesearches and other goodies in Israel (fast link though).
Brookhaven Bioinformatics Server
A number of search engines and on-line analysis packages.
BCM Search Launcher
Baylor College of Medicine search engine page, with searches against protein (using BEAUTY, BLAST Enhanced Alignment Utility against "added value" data) and DNA data libraries, secondary structure prediction and multiple alignment, giving access to CLUSTALW. Searches against PIMA (Pattern Induced Multiple Alignments) for proteins to identify gene function.
Hopkins Bio-Informatics Home Page
John Hopkins (U.S). A site where you can perform searches against a number of data libraries, plus a long list of links to other sites.
Biologists Search Palette
A set of search engines on the internet (actual forms, not just links, so cut and paste is useful).
American Type Culture Collection
The ATCC, searchable by gopher. Now you can order your cultures from the US direct.
ATLAS
MIPS ATLAS on the Web (can be slow).
Grail Gene Search Engine
Automated gene finding tuned for a number of species, including Arabidopsis.
The Oligonucleotide Primers Database
A hyperlinked database of oligonucleotide sequences and associated experimental information which may be useful to scientists interested in using existing oligonucleotide probes in their research.
The rRNA WWW Page For those
of you who asked if there were any rRNA resources on the web, here it is!
