Under the aegis of the National Library of Medicine, Genetics Home Reference is developed by a Staff that includes board-certified medical geneticists, biologists, and computer and information scientists. The content is reviewed regularly to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date. Expert reviewers perform a comprehensive review of each condition and gene summary before it is posted to Genetics Home Reference and every one to two years thereafter. Genetics Home Reference links to a selective list of health information sources.

Reviews of genetic diseases by physicians and research scientists.

From Merck, a health resource portal with a medical encyclopedia, dictionary, 3D animated human atlas, graphics and more.

Don’t forget the Merck manuals at the same site:

The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy has a helpful section under Special Subjects that includes a straight forward section on Genetics.

This is a virtual book consisting of a series of articles on human genetic diseases. Currently over 80 genetic disorders have been summarized, and the content of Genes and Disease is continually growing. From Genes and Disease, link to other online resources – e.g. consumer-oriented descriptions of the disease (see Porphyria example) and search for more articles in PubMed, or find the location of the genes implicated in each disorder. You can also find related gene sequences in different organisms. And for the very latest information, you can search for complete research articles in PubMed, and look in other books in the NCBI Bookshelf. Also look in MedlinePlus (easy-to-understand medical encyclopedia).

A four-volume set with extensive index for easy look up. Shelved in the reference area RC627.8 .M47 2001. Ask for assistance from the circulation desk if you have problems locating it.

NCBI Book Shelf is a growing searchable and browsable online book collection. You can search across all of them and see the number of relevant entries within each title. Titles range from molecular biology texts to medical texts and reports.

A professional level NCBI book, OMIM is intended for use primarily by physicians and other professionals concerned with genetic disorders, by genetics researchers, and by advanced students in science and medicine. Can be used for tracing major references including older literature.

Especially useful for finding Provides citations and some brief abstracts to journal articles, conference proceedings, books, book reviews, and dissertations in the history of science, technology and medicine and allied historical fields from prehistory to the present. Subject headings can be browsed by entering the disease name as a subject word and a list will display. For example, for porphyria, you will see headings such as porphyria-diagnosis, porphyria- history etc in an historical context.

National Library of Medicine's search service that provides access to over 16 million citations (as of November 2005) in MEDLINE, PreMEDLINE, and other related databases, with links to participating online journals. PubMed contains bibliographic citations and abstracts from approximately 3900 current biomedical journals and covers biomedical literature from early 1950's. Many journals are available through our subscription or free courtesy of PubMed Central. Follow the MORE link to see if we can get access for you through TriCollege or InterLibrary loan.

Search for specific aspects of a disease use the MESH term and check off specific subheadings, .g. diagnosis, treatment, economics. Also, using the LIMIT functions to specify a subset of the Medline database, e.g. bioethics, history etc.

Science-related news from research institutions, universities, government agencies, and corporations. Searchable and browsable by subject categories.

Full-text of thousands of newspapers, magazines, news transcripts, reference works, and legal materials. Includes NY Times (1980-current)
