The Databases (and their acronyms!):
Genbank, operated by NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
Contains all publicly available sequences of DNA, with annotations
Same DNA sequence content as EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory) and DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan)
Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL, operated by SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) and EBI (European Bioinformatics Institute)
Contains most of the publicly available sequences of proteins, with annotations
Protein Data Bank
Contains all publicly availalble experimentally determined structural models of proteins and nucleic acids (determined by x-ray crystallography and NMR)
Swiss-Model Repository
Contains many theoretical structural models of proteins (determined by automated homology modeling)
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
A catalog of human genes and genetic disorders, linked to gene entries in GenBank
