General informatics "lecture" This is a self-guided lecture whose purpose is to introduce you to internet resources for information about genetics and genomics. Some of these are general sources of information. Others are much more specialized. I recommend that you just go through the four web pages and check each of the links in turn to see what resources it has to offer. These pages are constantly being developed, but the current status is suitable for an informative tour. Homework 2 will have questions that can be answered using the online resources presented on these pages. In these examples, the LXR gene and protein will be used to illustrate the various informatics resources. This is just a way of showing how they all present information that can bear on a gene and its function. This choice is inspired by the recent paper in Nature by Mitro et al. "The nuclear receptor LXR is a glucose sensor." 2007.
