2005 Field Guide to GenBank and NCBI Molecular Biology
Resources:
Instruction for Scientists, Researchers, and Clinicians
The Eskind Biomedical Library strives to keep ahead of the rapid changes in
information and technology. We actively seek ways to optimize our patrons' use
of biomedical information including genetics and molecular biology. Thus, the EBL
is proud to sponsor a visit by Drs. Peter Cooper and Tao Tao from the
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
