"The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is a consortium of 12 natural history and botanical libraries that cooperate to digitize and make accessible the legacy literature of biodiversity held in their collections and to make that literature available for open access and responsible use as a part of a global “biodiversity commons.”"
"Charles Darwin’s Library is a digital edition and virtual reconstruction of the surviving books owned by Charles Darwin. This BHL special collection draws on original copies and surrogates from other libraries. It also provides full transcriptions of his annotations and marks."

"An Informational Resource for Cell and Molecular Biologists"
An animated primer of 75 experiments that made modern genetics. Divided into three main sections - Classical Genetics, Molecules of Genetics and Genetic Organization & Control - this site explains the science behind each concept through animation, video interviews, images and much more.
"The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) created the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms to help everyone understand the terms and concepts used in genetic research. In addition to definitions, specialists in the field of genetics share their descriptions of terms, and many terms include images, animation and links to related terms. "
Diagrams of the human genome system. Charts of each separate gene highlight important genes and their known functions.
"OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative, and timely compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes. The full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 12,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype. It is updated daily, and the entries contain copious links to other genetics resources."
"Browse this collection of resources to help students learn more about the Human Genome Project (HGP) and related issues."
"The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history"
Web site serves an an integrated, one-stop,genomic information infrastructure for biomedical researchers from around the world so that they may use this data in their research efforts.
