Recommended Databases

Top Three Genetics Databases to Start With:

MEDLINE - topics covered include clinical and experimental medicine; microbiology; pathology; pharmacology; physiology; reproductive biology; toxicology; and veterinary medicine (virtually identical to PubMed).

Biological Abstracts/BIOSIS - topics focus on biology, including biochemistry, endocrinology, genetics, microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, and physiology.

Web of Science - topics include all science disciplines, includes cited reference searching

Other Databases to Try for Basic Genetics Research:

SciFinder Scholar - covers all aspects of chemistry, requires installation of search software.

ArticleFirst - topics covered include science, technology, medicine, social science, business, humanities and popular culture.

ingenta - covers almost all topics, includes an automated alerting service that delivers the tables-of-contents of journals via e-mail.

Dissertation Abstracts - includes the complete range of academic subjects appearing in dissertations accepted at accredited institutions.

GPO Monthly Catalog - Indexes publications of U.S. federal agencies.

 

Other Databases to Try for Applied Genetics Research:

AGRICOLA - covers agriculture topics

CAB Abstracts - covers agriculture topics

Animal Breeding Abstracts - focus on animal breeding, includes livestock, poultry, fur-bearing animals, laboratory animal, other animals, and fish.
