Click here for Sciences databases (includes Genetics). 

The best starting point for any sort of research, databases are large collections of information which may include citations, abstracts, ebooks, fulltext articles from scholarly journals or magazines, images, multi-media files and more.

Find Journals in Genetics.

Journals found here are available in print at Plough Library and/or online through CBU databases. Look for the name of the journal you are interested in, for example:

• american journal of human genetics
• bmc genomics
• genetic epidemiology

• Medical News Today - Genetics.
• Science Daily - Genetics News.

• Encyclopedia of the Human Genome (2005), Credo ebook.
• Genetics Demystified (2006), EBSCO ebook.
• Genome Sequencing Technology and Algorithms (2008), EBSCO ebook.
• In Pursuit of the Gene: From Darwin to DNA (2008), EBSCO ebook.
