PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine, includes over 15 million citations for biomedical articles back to the 1950's. These citations are from MEDLINE and additional life science journals. PubMed includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources

The ECM - ITALIA portal, is a technological programme of E-Learning Medical Services

Sito del Array Technology Group che lavora su i microarray in italia.

ESTree is an Interuniversitary Centre of several research units in Italy devoted to the implementation of genomics and functional genomics in peach. The primary objectives of the Centre are: the development of an extensive EST database for peach (ESTree DB); the analysis of several biochemical pathways based on oligonucleotide microarrays derived from ESTs collection; the SNP-mapping of ESTs on available molecular linkage maps.

ESTuber is a Consortium of several research centers in Italy devoted to the implementation of genomics and functional genomics in truffle species. The primary objectives of the Consortium are:  the development of an extensive EST database for Tuber species (ESTuber DB); the analysis of several biochemical pathways based on oligonucleotide microarrays derived from ESTs collection; the analysis of conserved genetic modules in truffle species and related filamentous fungi.

The Bioinformatics ITalian Society (B.IT.S.) aims at joining research scientists interested in Bioinformatics, meant as a multi-disciplinary science for the study of biological systems at the molecular and cellular level by using informatics and computational methods and models. Main goals of the associations are the study, development and spreading of Bioinformatics in a scientific, academic, technologic and industrial environment.

This is the portal to Bioinformatics activities in Italy and the home for the FIRB-sponsored project "Bioinformatics for Genomics and Proteomics". From these pages you can access a shared infrastructure for structural and functional Genomics and Proteomics. It is based on data, tools and services for collaboration.

The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is a non-profit academic organisation that forms part of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). The EBI is a centre for research and services in bioinformatics. The Institute manages databases of biological data including nucleic acid, protein sequences and macromolecular structures. The mission of the EBI is to ensure that the growing body of information from molecular biology and genome research is placed in the public domain and is accessible freely to all facets of the scientific community in ways that promote scientific progress.

Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease.

TIGR has many software systems available for free download. All of them are OSI Certified Open Source Software.

Ensembl is a joint project between the EMBL-EBI and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute that aims at developing a system that maintains automatic annotation of large eukaryotic genomes. Access to all the software and data is free and without constraints of any kind. It is a comprehensive source of stable annotation with confirmed gene predictions that have been integrated from external data sources. Ensembl annotates known genes and predicts new ones, with functional annotation from InterPro, OMIM, SAGE and gene families.

This site contains the reference sequence and working draft assemblies for a large collection of genomes. It also shows the CFTR (cystic fibrosis) region in 13 species and provides a portal to the ENCODE project.

The Alzheimer Research Forum was founded in 1996 to create an online scientific community dedicated to developing treatments and preventions for Alzheimer's disease.

An International Aluminum Network was established in 1995 open to all scientists interested to a better understanding of the aluminum impact on biological systems from different point of views: Physiological, Pathological, Toxicological, Biochemical in humans as well as in vitro and in vivo experimentation.

This network is devoted to exchanging proposals and scientific data (relevant papers, experimental data etc.) as well as to inform on various activities around the world: workshops, round tables, symposia etc. where relevant issues on Chemistry or Biology related to the Physiopathology of aluminum could be discussed.
