Internet Guide

This is an online guide to internet resources on genetics and genomics. Some of these are general sources of information. Others are much more specialized.

In many of these examples, the RNPS1 gene and protein will be used to illustrate the various informatics resources. This is just an arbitrary choice.

General information (page 1):
Library (Research Port) (CBMG librarian's guide to resources, a dynamic page with audio made using Captivate).
Google (scholar, blogs, books)
