New HSLS Web Portal to Molecular Biology and Genetics Resources

The Health Sciences Library System is pleased to introduce a new guide to molecular biology and genetics resources <www. hsls.pitt.edu/guides/genetics>, developed to support the HSLS Information Service in Molecular Biology and Genetics. This Web guide serves as a portal to tools, resources, and tutorials available to the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC research communities.

The “tools” section provides a task-specific hierarchical menu of links to molecular biology and genetics software and databases. A “search for tools” option allows users to find bioinformatics tools by keyword. Every link is tagged with an information icon ( “i”), which provides a short description of the resource.

The guide also provides access to licensed library resources including CellSpace Knowledge Miner, Proteome BioKnowledge Library, and Current Protocols Online. (see article in this issue for details about CellSpace). In addition, users can submit bioinformatics queries to the information specialist, browse the schedule of workshops, and access online PowerPoint tutorials on the use of bioinformatics tools. The development of this guide is an ongoing project, and we urge users to contribute to it by sending suggestions and comments. Please contact Ansuman Chattopadhyay, PhD, at 412-648-1297 or ansuman@pitt.edu with questions or suggestions.
