Biomedical Databases
The following comprehensive list of biomedical database will assist you in identifying citations to health-related journal articles. Online tutorials are available to guide you with searching MEDLINE, CINAHL, and NLM databases. A complete list of bibliographic and full-text databases may be found through the UB Libraries Databases by Title or Resources by Subject.
UB ONLY databases are restricted to current University at Buffalo faculty, staff, and students. Other individuals are welcome to visit the Health Sciences Library and conduct their research at library workstations.
PUBLIC databases are freely available to the general public via the Internet.

Updated and new peer-reviewed content is added every three months. The original Current Protocols title, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology provides protocols and procedures ranging from basic methods for preparing DNA, RNA and protein and growing cells in culture, to advanced procedures including DNA sequencing, recombinant libraries, microarray analyses, mutagenesis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), high-throughput sequencing, and gene silencing. Appendices include cloning vectors and commonly used reagents techniques. Updated and new peer-reviewed content is added every three months. Published in association with International Society for Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids, Current Protocols in Nucleic Acid Chemistry focuses to the synthesis of modified nucleic acids for structure-function studies, potential therapeutic agents, and as tools for molecular biology. It covers basic to advanced techniques for the synthesis, modification, purification, analysis, and utilization of nucleic acids, nucleotides, and nucleosides, including RNA folding pathways, nucleic acid microarrays and various biophysical analyses. Updated and new peer-reviewed content is added every three months. A comprehensive protein-centric resource, Current Protocols in Protein Science contains methodologies for expression, characterization, and purification of proteins, including recombinant proteins, plus post-translational modifications and structural characterizations. Contains sections on protein structural biology, mass spectrometry, protein interactions, proteomics and more. Updated and new peer-reviewed content is added every three months. |

Faculty of 1000 Medicine systematically highlights and critiques the most interesting papers published in the fields of clinical medicine and medical research. A select group of over 2000 individual researchers and clinicians cull the literature for articles they find valuable and give ratings and recommendations to the articles. Faculty of 1000 Medicine can be a valuable current awareness tool for medical researchers and practicing physicians. It can also be accessed via discipline-specific “Top 10” lists or searched by keyword or by MeSH term. |
| Databases by Title : G - I GeneCards is a comprehensive database of human genes and their mouse equivalents (homologs) that links gene information to disease, pathologies and mutational processes. Extensive search capabilities including searching by disease or by gene name to simultaneously retrieve genomic, proteomic, transcriptomic, and genetic information on all known and predicted human genes. For each gene, retrieves information on mutations, variations (SNPs), gene function, protein to protein interactions, known interactions with drugs and compounds and much more. GeneCards also extensively links out to other Internet resources for information relating to a gene's expression, its encoded protein structure and function, and for ordering reagants including antibodies, RNAi,clones and much more.
