NextBio Basic http://library.tmc.edu/database/nextbio-basic/ http://library.tmc.edu/database/nextbio-basic/#comments Fri, 04 Oct 2013 22:15:04 +0000 http://library.tmc.edu/?post_type=database&p=1925 NextBio Basic is a free web application for searching biomedical and genetic information. It provides access to a ‘curated, correlated database’ of public data into which NextBio integrates Medline literature, clinical trial information, and news. Its semantic framework is based on gene, tissue, disease and compound ontologies. Registered users (registration for this basic version is free) can personalize their experience, communicate, collaborate and share data with the rest of the NextBio community. For the registered user, a single search for a gene yields quick results arranged by category: an overview of the gene; a list of tissues in which the gene is expressed; diseases and compounds relating to the gene; a list of the top associated researchers and authors; literature, associated clinical trials, and more.

Mendeley http://library.tmc.edu/database/mendeley/ http://library.tmc.edu/database/mendeley/#comments Fri, 04 Oct 2013 16:14:41 +0000 http://library.tmc.edu/?post_type=database&p=1858 Mendeley is an open-access reference management tool. Use drag-and-drop to add references to your list, or add via web import. Easily create bibliographies and insert citations into papers by adding a plug-in for your word processing program. Includes an integral pdf viewer that allows highlighting and annotation. Organize with list-sorting and by adding folders. Mendeley also provides for creation of one’s own research profile and for setting up private and public groups for collaboration and sharing, with additional useful features for keeping everything clear and organized. A crowd-sourced catalog of citations provided in public groups can be viewed by subject area and individual citations may be downloaded to one’s account. A subscription version of Mendeley provides expanded storage for groups and individuals, and technical support, space and flexible collaboration features for “Team” implementations. Note: The TMC Library does not provide particular support for this application.

KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomics) http://library.tmc.edu/database/kegg-kyoto-encyclopedia-of-genes-and-genomics/ http://library.tmc.edu/database/kegg-kyoto-encyclopedia-of-genes-and-genomics/#comments Wed, 02 Oct 2013 17:28:42 +0000 http://library.tmc.edu/?post_type=database&p=1648 KEGG is a resource purposed to facilitate understanding of the functions and utilities of the biological system–  cells, organisms and ultimately the ecosystem–  based on genomic and molecular-level information. It is a computer representation of the biological system, consisting of the molecular building blocks– genes, proteins and chemical substances, integrated with molecular wiring diagrams of interaction, reaction and relational networks. Extensive data is available to view; ftp downloading requires a subscription. KEGG was developed in collaboration with the Bioinformatics Center, Institute for Chemical Research, Kyoto University and the Human Genome Center, Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo.

Google Scholar http://library.tmc.edu/database/google-scholar/ http://library.tmc.edu/database/google-scholar/#comments Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:00:55 +0000 http://library.tmc.edu/?post_type=database&p=1421 Sources of information in many diverse disciplines are retrievable with Google Scholar. A search can return citations to articles, theses, books, patents, abstracts and court opinions from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and the Web itself. Scholar ranks your search results according to the full text of each document, its place of publication, its author, and the frequency/currency of its citation by others.

Choose this link if you are registered with The TMC Library as an Academic (Educational) user, to access available full text by clicking the “Find It” button.

Even with an individual, independent Google Scholar registration one can set persistent preferences, among them the convenient option to display The TMC Library’s holdings at title level (and/or those of other libraries.) In either case, the “Advanced Scholar Search” page allows restriction of your search results to a particular date range, subject area, author or journal.

This link is the one to choose if you are not a registered TMC Library E-Resources user and if you are not a member of a TMC academic institution.

Scopus http://library.tmc.edu/database/scopus/ http://library.tmc.edu/database/scopus/#comments Thu, 19 Sep 2013 16:52:52 +0000 http://library.tmc.edu/?post_type=database&p=819 The SCOPUS database contains millions of records from 10,150 life and health sciences publications (including all journals contained in Medline and EmBase) and includes most other sciences and humanities– coverage of 20,450 journal titles. SCOPUS also indexes the proceedings of 750 conferences.  Searching also pullsl in relevant Web resources, organized under a separate tab. Another tab separates patent results from patent offices in the US and worldwide. SCOPUS provides a Journal Analyzer tool that graphs journals, singly or for comparison, from 1996 to present, showing total citations, number of articles published, total cites divided by number of articles, and the percentage of non-cited articles. Affiliation searching is also provided. A free login for authorized users provides additional advantages: a customizable personal profile for saving citation lists and tracking authors; a publication alert service; and direct export to RefWorks. For SCOPUS’s tutorials, click here.  NOTE: Scopus may not support Safari and will cease to support IE7 in September 2014. From the website: “In order for our users to continue benefitting from Scopus’ new features and functionalities, we recommend that you upgrade your browser to IE 8 or higher or use Google Chrome or Firefox browsers.”

ALFRED: The Allele Frequency Database http://library.tmc.edu/database/alfred-the-allele-frequency-database/ http://library.tmc.edu/database/alfred-the-allele-frequency-database/#comments Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:50:13 +0000 http://library.tmc.edu/?post_type=database&p=797 “ALFRED’s focus is on allele frequencies in diverse anthropologically defined populations. It is not a compendium of human DNA polymorphisms but of frequencies of selected polymorphisms with an emphasis on those that have been studied in multiple populations. All of the data in ALFRED are considered to be in the public domain and available for use in research and teaching.”
