- The National Center for Biotechnology Information
The National Center for Biotechnology Information site provides you with the tools needed for "data mining" on the web. At this site, you can compare gene and protein sequences using BLAST, explore the outline of the complete human genome sequence using GeneMap'99, compare DNA from human and mouse sources using Human-Mouse Homology Maps, and obtain human, rat, and mouse gene sequence information using LocusLink. Other resources are also available at this site, so don't be afraid to explore!
