Abstract:
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), as a primary public repository of genomic sequence data, collects and maintains enormous amounts of heterogeneous data. Data for genomes, genes, gene expressions, gene variation, gene families, proteins, and protein domains are integrated with the analytical, search, and retrieval resources through the NCBI Web site. Entrez, a text-based search and retrieval system, provides a fast and easy way to navigate across diverse biological databases.Customized genomic BLAST enables sequence similarity searches against a special collection of organism-specific sequence data and viewing the resulting alignments within a genomic context using NCBI's genome browser, Map Viewer.Comparative genome analysis tools lead to further understanding of evolutionary processes, quickening the pace of discovery.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
