Up-to-date Databases Resources

To notify the researchers of newly-discovered information

Pivotal Reference Resources

Providing literature for further research

(d) Why we need to group these databases

due to significant growth in NAR web server that lead to change in type of tool, databases and resources

make it easier for users to search by narrowing or specify their search

need for well annotated and user-friendly resource

Incresing numbers of information

scientist, biologists, researchers unable to track tools, databases, methods and their specialty information easily
