What is My NCBI?

The National Library of Medicine has established an online portal that assembles key resources together for scholars to conduct research in the biological sciences called the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). You can search for literature in databases such as PubMed and PubMed Central. You can search for genomes using tools like BLAST and SRA. You can also connect your My NCBI account to other accounts, such as ORCID or NSF, so that you can manage bibliographies and create biosketches. 


Some aspects of NCBI require their own LibGuides:
