PathDB (table 7.1) has been under development since before 2000 at the National Center for Genome Resources. It focused originally on plant metabolism (Arabi-dopsis thaliana) but is not in principle restricted to plants, and has recently begun including yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). It includes a relatively large database of compounds, proteins, reactions, and pathways, plus visualization and search/nav-igation tools. 

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Located at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, MD, USA. The home of the GenBank DNA sequence database PubMed literature search engine sequence search tools (e.g., PSI-BLAST) genomic sequence navigation tools. A substantial repository of resources in all areas of bioinformatics. 

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), NIH. URL http //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information—all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease. 

National Center for Biotechnology Information http //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (accessed Jnne 17, 2010). From the National Library of Medicine, this site is a clearinghonse for resources in molecular biology. Links to molecular databases, genomic biology resources, and data-mining tools. 

Economic resources, incentives and opportunities have also played an important role in promoting the rapid progression of biotechnology into the commercial marketplace. For two decades, the U.S. government, and to a lesser extent, the national authorities of several other industrial nations have provided billions of dollars for basic and applied research in universities, medical research centers, and national laboratories to map the human genome and the genomes of other species, as...
