National Institute of Health (NIH) Links:

National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)

URL: http://www.nidcr.nih.gov/
Through the conduct and support of research and the training of researchers, the NIDCR aims to promote health, prevent diseases and conditions, and develop new diagnostics and therapeutics.
GenBank Databases
URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/index.html
A gateway to searching a variety of databases including PubMed, a protein sequence database, a nucleotide sequence database, various genomes, a molecular modeling database, taxonomy, population study data, human genes and disorders, various textbooks, and NCBI's gene expression and hybridization array repository (GEO) data. 
The Visible Human Project
URL: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/research/visible/visible_human.html
The Visible Human Project® is an outgrowth of the NLM's 1986 Long-Range Plan. It is the creation of complete, anatomically detailed, three-dimensional representations of the normal male and female human bodies.
Profiles in Science
URL: http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/
From the National Library of Medicine, this site contains the archival collections of prominent twentieth century biomedical scientists and contains published and unpublished materials, including books, journal volumes, pamphlets, diaries, letters, manuscripts, photographs, audio tapes, and other audiovisual materials.
NIH Stem Cell Information
URL: http://stemcells.nih.gov/
Provides information about research funding, stem cell research, clinical trials, and federal policies.
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering
URL: http://www.nibib.nih.gov/info/geninfo.htm
Includes reports of bioengineering and bioimaging review and steering committees, bioengineering and bioimaging efforts at other federal agencies and foundations, journal articles on biomedical engineering and bioimaging, texts of lectures on directions in biology and medicine, and links to other Web sites of possible interest to the bioengineering and bioimaging communities (e.g., societies, acedemic and research opportunities, etc.).

Genetics & Genomics:
123 Genomics

URL: http://www.123genomics.com/
Categorizes selected internet resources related to genomics and bioinformatics

E-BioSci
URL: http://www.e-biosci.org/

EMBO created the E-BioSci network to interlink genomic and other factual data with the life sciences research literature.

It has regularly updated content, allows multi-language querying (English, French, and German), and results can be filtered, sorted, and exported to a file or to Endnote (TM). There is also a user's guide (PDF). [Read a 2001 interview with the E-BioSci director from the Nature "e-access debate" site.]

Human Genome Project Publications
URL: http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/publicat/publications.shtml
This searchable site contains links to a variety of information about this project, including a Primer on Molecular Genetics. The Human Genome News is a part of the site.
GenomeWeb
URL: http://www.rfcgr.mrc.ac.uk/GenomeWeb/
Produced by the HGMP Resource Centre in the UK, this uptodate and authoritative collection has the best genome related websites.
Genomes Online Database (GOLD)
URL: http://www.genomesonline.org/
Comprehensive access to information on completed and ongoing genome projects in the world.
HyperGenome
URL: http://www.genome.ad.jp/hypergenome/
A searchable database for understanding molecular mechanisms of human diseases.
GenBank Databases
URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/index.html

A worldwide repository for the processing and distribution of 3-D biological macromolecular structure data.
The PSA Protein Structure Prediction Server
URL: http://bmerc-www.bu.edu/psa/
The Protein Sequence Analysis (PSA) server predicts probable secondary structures and folding classes for a given amino acid sequence. It was developed at the BioMolecular Engineering Research Center (BMERC) of Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts, and TASC, Inc. in Reading, Massachusetts.
Swiss-Prot
URL: http://us.expasy.org/sprot/sprot-top.html

SWISS-MODEL
URL: http://www.expasy.org/swissmod/SWISS-MODEL.html
A fully automated protein structure homology-modeling server, accessible via the ExPASy web server, or from the program DeepView (Swiss Pdb-Viewer). The purpose of this server is to make Protein Modelling accessible to all biochemists and molecular biologists World Wide.
CPRMap - Clinical Proteomics Research Map
URL: http://www.cprmap.com
CPRMap tracks latest proteomic news, reports, conferences, jobs, and literatures to facilitate collaborations among researchers in the clinical proteomics communities.
