Editor’s Note: This is the last of this series. I will continue to collect links to neat resources and I will possibly continue these in the future. I hope you’ve enjoyed this 6 part series of eclectic databases. Know of a neat and/or overlooked database that you think Upfront With NGS members would benefit from knowing about? Drop an email to [email protected].
Editor’s Note: As of today, each of the above links worked. Now, whether the links in any of the identified articles work, I cannot vouch for that. And, armed with the information provided, it should be relatively easy to get to determine where the discussed database currently resides. If you get really stuck, drop me an email and I’ll try to ferret out the recalcitrant link or cross out my entry in the above list!
