Database resources of the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Nucleic acids research | 2014

In addition to maintaining the GenBank nucleic acid sequence database, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) provides analysis and retrieval resources for the data in GenBank and other biological data made available through the NCBI Web site. NCBI resources include Entrez, the Entrez Programming Utilities, MyNCBI, PubMed, PubMed Central, PubReader, Gene, the NCBI Taxonomy Browser, BLAST, BLAST Link, Primer-BLAST, COBALT, RefSeq, UniGene, HomoloGene, ProtEST, dbMHC, dbSNP, dbVar, Epigenomics, the Genetic Testing Registry, Genome and related tools, the Map Viewer, Trace Archive, Sequence Read Archive, BioProject, BioSample, ClinVar, MedGen, HIV-1/Human Protein Interaction Database, Gene Expression Omnibus, Probe, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals, the Molecular Modeling Database, the Conserved Domain Database, the Conserved Domain Architecture Retrieval Tool, Biosystems, Protein Clusters and the PubChem suite of small molecule databases. Augmenting many of the Web applications are custom implementations of the BLAST program optimized to search specialized data sets. All these resources can be accessed through the NCBI home page.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


NCBI (tool)

RRID:SCR_006472

A portal to biomedical and genomic information. NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease.

Human Phenotype Ontology (tool)

RRID:SCR_006016

Provides standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities encountered in human disease. Structured and controlled vocabulary for phenotypic features encountered in human hereditary and other disease. HPO is being developed in collaboration with members of OBO Foundry (Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies), and logical definitions for HPO terms are being developed using PATO and a number of other ontologies including FMA, GO, ChEBI, and MPATH.

Unified Medical Language System (tool)

RRID:SCR_006363

Database of key terminology, classification and coding standards, and associated resources to promote creation of more effective and interoperable biomedical information systems and services, including electronic health records. This set of files and software brings together many health and biomedical vocabularies and standards to enable interoperability between computer systems. Users can use the UMLS to enhance or develop applications, such as electronic health records, classification tools, dictionaries and language translators. The UMLS has three tools, which we call the Knowledge Sources: * Metathesaurus: Terms and codes from many vocabularies, including CPT, ICD-10-CM, LOINC, MeSH, RxNorm, and SNOMED CT * Semantic Network: Broad categories (semantic types) and their relationships (semantic relations) * SPECIALIST Lexicon and Lexical Tools: Natural language processing tools We use the Semantic Network and Lexical Tools to produce the Metathesaurus. Metathesaurus production involves: * Processing the terms and codes using the Lexical Tools * Grouping synonymous terms into concepts * Categorizing concepts by semantic types from the Semantic Network * Incorporating relationships and attributes provided by vocabularies * Releasing the data in a common format Although we integrate these tools for Metathesaurus production, you can access them separately or in any combination according to your needs. The UMLS Terminology Services (UTS) provides three ways to access the UMLS: Web Browsers, Local Installation, and Web Services APIs.

OMIM (tool)

RRID:SCR_006437

Online catalog of human genes and genetic disorders, for clinical features, phenotypes and genes. Collection of human genes and genetic phenotypes, focusing on relationship between phenotype and genotype. Referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and variety of related genes. It is updated daily, and entries contain copious links to other genetics resources.

PubReader (tool)

RRID:SCR_013814

A web application which serves as an alternate way to read scientific literature in PubMed Central and Bookshelf. PubReader features an easy-to-read multi-column display, a figure strip for access to figures, and a search function. It is designed especially to support reading on tablets and other smaller devices but is available for reading on laptops and desktops.
