Biology Search Engines
- Biobar - supplies browsing access
to over 30 different biological databases.
The
biobar project is a bioinformatics power-browsing toolbar for Mozilla-based
browsers including Firefox and Netscape 7+. This toolbar provides access to
all major biological data resources. The primary advantage of this tool is
that it allows a biologist to browse and retrieve data from Genomic, Proteomic,
Functional, Literature, Taxonomic, Structural, Plant and Animal-specific
databases. In addition to the browsing features, biobar also provides links
to important bioinformatics sites and services including services at the
European Bioinformatics Institute
(EBI),
National Center for Biotechnology Information
(NCBI) and
DNA Data Bank of Japan
(DDBJ). The tool also provides
links to major data deposition sites for nucleotide, protein and 3D-structure
data. Finally, the menu also contains links to many Sequence, Structure
alignment and analysis tools.
