How does one retrieve information on a particular subject in the literature? National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Databases outside of NCBI Writing assignment

10. 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 Tutorial using MeSH terms to search Medline using PubMed

11. 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
