Database retrieval/submission

Sequence Retrieval System Nijmegen has been discontinued. Use SRS at
BioAsp-NL instead!
Alternatively you can visit the SRS at EBI-UK

FREE! PubMed (MEDLINE) searching for bibliographic references, abstracts etc.
Patent (info) retrieval by IPN (Inellectual Property Network) hosted at IBM
CABRI - Common Access to Biological Resources and Information
CABRI includes 26 catalogues from some of the most known European
culture collections, including BCCM, CABI, CBS, DSMZ and ECACC, for
a total of more than 86,000 strains.
Organism types are fungi, yeasts, cell lines, bacteria, archea,
plasmids, DNA probes, plant cells and viruses, phages.
