Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) MeSH is NLM's controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles for MEDLINE. MeSH terminology provides a consistent way to retrieve information that may use different terminology for the same concepts.MeSH Who has published?

OMIM-Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man A catalog of human genes linked to diseases Started by Victor A. McKusick at Johns Hopkins University A good place to start when you want to research a certain disease or biological molecule associated with a disease. This database is cross-referenced to PubMed and other NCBI-based databases

In-Class Assignment Before beginning this assignment, decide on a molecular topic in which you are interested and keep it in mind as you work through the tutorials. Spend a few minutes with the PubMed tutorial, starting at Be sure to use the menu at left, and investigate at least: Using PubMed My NCBI For each menu item, use “next” arrow to progress through the tutorial. You will automatically be moved from tab to tab. Set up a My NCBI account to keep a running tab on your favorite subject Make at least one of your NCBI weekly searches relevant to your internship. medhelp.My_NCBI medhelp.My_NCBI Bring up your My NCBI page, save a screen shot to a WORD or PowerPoint document able and to me as an attachment by Thursday, 9 AM, July 2.
