A molecular biologist's best friend

Just when you think all government endeavors are going to hell, the National Center for Biotechnology Information comes to the rescue (well, has been coming to the scientist near you since 1988). For free, search everything from dna sequences in organisms where the genome is known to searching known Mendelian inheritances for Homo Sapiens (example here). Also of much use and interest is PudMed with the ability to search and read virtually any established molecular biology paper.

Are the last two links the same, jmd82? I wanted to see a list of inherited characteristics (from your examples link, I'd hoped) but it seems like just a general search page. That said, I really enjoyed the dna sequences link, where you're only one click away from "Blast[ing] the Sheep Genome." Sis, boom, baaaah!

And here is a list of some of the genetic disorders you can search.
