PubMedPubMed is a free, searchable database maintained by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). It provides access to a vast collection of biomedical literature, including millions of citations from journals in fields like medicine, life sciences, nursing, dentistry, and health policy.
Other Resources
-
ClinVarClinVar is a public archive that collects and shares information about human genetic variants, their classifications for diseases or drug responses, and the supporting evidence. Submissions may range from simple variant-level data to detailed case-level or functional evidence, with the goal of enabling re-evaluation and updating of variant classifications. The database aggregates submissions, assigns accession numbers, and transparently displays both consensus and conflicting interpretations along with review statuses to indicate reliability.
-
dbSNPdbSNP contains human single nucleotide variations, microsatellites, and small-scale insertions and deletions along with publication, population frequency, molecular consequence, and genomic and RefSeq mapping information for both common variations and clinical mutations.
-
Draw It to Know It (DITKI)
Draw It to Know It (DITKI) is an online educational tool that uses interactive, hand-drawn visuals to help students learn complex concepts in anatomy, physiology, and other health-related fields. The platform offers a range of lessons and diagrams that allow users to "draw" structures and systems, reinforcing learning through visual and active engagement. It is widely used by medical students, healthcare professionals, and educators to improve understanding of anatomical structures and biological processes.
-
GeneGene integrates information from a wide range of species. A record may include nomenclature, Reference Sequences (RefSeqs), maps, pathways, variations, phenotypes, and links to genome-, phenotype-, and locus-specific resources worldwide.
-
GeneReviews®GeneReviews, an international point-of-care resource, provides clinically relevant and medically actionable information for inherited conditions in a standardized journal-style format, covering diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling for patients and their families. Each chapter in GeneReviews is written by one or more experts on the specific condition or disease and goes through a rigorous editing and peer review process before being published online.

LWW Health Library - Premium Basic Sciences Collection
The LWW Health Library - Premium Basic Sciences Collection offers essential resources for students in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pathology. It includes textbooks, case studies, and multimedia content to support foundational learning and enhance understanding of key concepts. Log in using your PCOM username and password. Upon logging in, you can optionally create a free personalized account, which allows access to self-assessments, saving favorite content, and more, though it is not required.
-
OMIMOnline Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM®) is a continuously updated catalog of human genes and genetic disorders and traits, with particular focus on the molecular relationship between genetic variation and phenotypic expression. OMIM is a continuation of Dr. Victor A. McKusick's Mendelian Inheritance in Man, which was published through 12 editions, the last in 1998. OMIM is based on the peer-reviewed biomedical literature, and criteria for inclusion of papers continue to evolve.
-
Protein Data Bank (PDB)The Protein Data Bank (PDB) was established as the 1st open access digital data resource in all of biology and medicine. It is today a leading global resource for experimental data central to scientific discovery. Through an internet information portal and downloadable data archive, PDB provides access to 3D structure data for the molecules of life, found in all organisms on the planet.
-
ReactomeThe Reactome website is designed to literally give the user a graphical map of known biological processes and pathways that is also an interface which the user can ‘click through’ to authoritative detailed information on components and their relations. The Reactome database and website enable scientists, researchers, students, and educators to find, organize, and utilize biological information to support data visualization, integration and analysis. Reactome pathway, reaction and molecules pages extensively cross-reference to over 100 different online bioinformatics resources, including NCBI Gene, Ensembl and UniProt databases, the UCSC Genome Browser, ChEBI small molecule databases, and the PubMed literature database.
-
RefSeqThe Reference Sequence (RefSeq) collection provides a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant, well-annotated set of sequences, including genomic DNA, transcripts, and proteins. RefSeq sequences form a foundation for medical, functional, and diversity studies. They provide a stable reference for genome annotation, gene identification and characterization, mutation and polymorphism analysis (especially RefSeqGene records), expression studies, and comparative analyses.
