Online Resources
Chemical Sciences Article Repository
- open access repository for chemistry papers published by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
- provides access to the information chemists need to enhance their research, product development, self-development, education, and/or their businesses in Chemistry and related disciplines
- Science.gov is a search engine for government science information and research results. Currently in its fourth generation, Science.gov provides search of more than 50 million pages of science information with just one query, and is a gateway to over 1,800 scientific Web sites
Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes
- a database resource for understanding high-level functions and utilities of the biological system, such as the cell, the organism and the ecosystem, from molecular-level information, especially large-scale molecular datasets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.
- A collection of sequences from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, and PDB.
