Life Science Resources

 Basic info : helpful lab stuff

  • Amino-acid info: the building blocks of proteins
  • Codon Usage database: Make that mutation safely
  • ExPaSy: Proteomics server of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. Protein sequence / structure analysis
  • FunSpec: Web-based cluster-interpreter for yeast microarrays. Input a list of yeast gene names, and output a summary of functional classes, cellular localizations, protein complexes, etc. that are enriched in the list.  
  • LabVelocity: "provider of information technology services to the global life science market" apparently 
  • OpenWetWare: To promote the sharing of information and  know-how among researchers and groups working in biology & biological engineering. See also the Keogh Page.
  • Periodic Table: WebElements
  • REBase: Restriction enzyme database (NEB)
