However, each have unique features and/or links which are useful. Take the time to browse each site, making note of the ones which appeal to you most. As you gain experience, you'll want to explore some of these in some depth. Background and on-line instruction using Darwin 2000: http://www.rickhershberger.com/darwin2000/ Other on-line instruction and support: A basic general introduction: http://biotech.icmb.utexas.edu/pages/bioinfo.html A detailed, highly linked site: [Note: Some applications have restricted access, but there is still a significant amount of useful information.] http://www-biology.ucsd.edu/others/dsmith/workshop.html National Center of Biotechnology Information [NCBI] homepage: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Site map to ease navigation: [You can click on the boxes and see how they are linked.] http://ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Database/index.html European Bioinformatics Institute: http://www.ebi.ac.uk National Biotechnology Information Facility- 1000's of link resources, including the game Origin: Unknown, which provides a fun way to learn bioinformatics: http://www.nbif.org/ San Diego Supercomputing Center has lots of useful links and resources: http://restools.sdsc.edu/ Resource list at NOAA is nicely organized: http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/bioinformatics.html [top of page] Additional structure modeling and analysis tools: PDBsum: http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/bsm/pdbsum Protein Explorer: http://molvis.sdsc.edu/protexpl/ GREASE:[plotting hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity] http://fasta.bioch.virginia.edu/fasta/grease.htm along with Kyte-Doolittle Scale: http://www.biotools.com/glossary/gkytedoo.html or try Hydropathy: http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/molkit/hydropathy/index.html This site has a linked scale for reference. To download TreeView: http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/treeview.html Additional access to lots of cool applications: [Boxshade, PHYLIP, and treealign to name but a few] http://bioweb.pasteur.fr/intro-uk.html Access to good documentation on many applications: [left-hand frame- index] http://www.molbiol.ox.ac.uk/ Biology Workbench: A powerful integrated tool, allowing you to search multiple databases simultaneously and to use a very wide variety of tools to examine proteins, nucleotide sequences, alignments, and structures: http://workbench.sdsc.edu [All you need to do the first time is to choose a user name & password. The cool thing is that it can save your work sessions, so you can come back to them, even months later. You can upload and download from it as well, so you can easily transfer material to a log, and to a report. The downside to using Biology Workbench is that it takes a little practice to navigate following a simple rule of not using the "back" button, because it can cause problems.] To access entries in human genome database: http://gdbwww.gdb.org/ or go to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/ and click on "Genome"  [top of page] Multi-linked index sites of interest [Come back to these frequently and explore.
