NCBI: something old, something new
What is NCBI?
• Create automated systems for knowledge about molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics.
• Perform research into advanced methods of analyzing and interpreting molecular biology data.
• Enable biotechnology researchers and medical care personnel to use the systems and methods developed.
On November 4, 1988 that President Ronald Reagan signed the Health Omnibus Extension Act to create The National Center for Biotechnology Information as part of National Library of Medicine at NIH.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
Part of National Library of Medicine (NLM) at
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Bethesda,MD
NCBI: down on the farm
• Genome assembly and annotation
• Pre-computed relationships for:– Protein clusters– “Nearby” nucleic acid– EST unigene clusters– Putative homologous
genes– Conserved protein domains– SNPs– Reciprocal links
