Links


This is a databank-based collection of bioinformatic tools, databases and service sites that are freely accessible via the internet. It was taken into account that one link can belong to more than one of these categories or to different topics (e.g. gene regulation and signal transduction or protein- and DNA-sequences). In this case it is listed each time.

In the following sorting by categories and topics, respectively, can be choosen.

Please select a sorting option for the Link Collection:

Sort by category (e.g. Database, Bioinformatic Tool) by topic (e.g. Gene Regulation, Signal Transduction, Metabolism) by title

Search for a specific word or text fragment (you can combine this with a selected sorting option):

For direct access to submenues just click on a topic listed below!
