The National
Center for Biotechnology Information (OK.... why does
this "national center" modify "information" with a noun,
viz. Biotechnology, rather than with and adjective, like "biotechnological"?)
at the National Library for Medicine at the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) maintains a huge site with invaluable
information. Here are some useful links.
- a link
to a "view
page" or "search
page" that provides a series of chromosomes from the human genome.
A user is able to click on any chromosome and begin to explore the structure
and content of that chromosome.
- a link
to the "site
map" to present the huge array of programs that allow analysis of
genetic sequences
- a link
to a glossary.
This site is especially valuable since so much of what is presented is shielded
by a barely penetrable armor of arcania.
