UNSW Embryology

National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA)

Different databases can be selected from the pulldown menu.

Selected option "Entrez" shows the results from searching all the different NCBI databases simultaneously.

NCBI "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"

NCBI PubMed

NCBI A search of NCBI PubMed MEDLINE database.

"MEDLINE is the NLM's premier bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, and the preclinical sciences." (NCBI)

Searching with nearly any term will result in a large number of results that can be made more specific by either:

1. Using "Preview/Index" option to carry out an additional search and then combining with your first result. (#1 AND #2)
or
2. Using "Limits" option to set limits on your search results. (review, years, english, etc)

Online Textbooks

NCBI Bookshelf

NCBI Bookshelf

Searching the library with a term will show results from each textbook that can then be opened on a new page.

"The Bookshelf is a growing collection of biomedical books that can be searched directly by typing a concept" (NCBI)

Online Mendelian Inheritence in Man (OMIM)

NCBI OMIM "This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Finally

For those wanting to see dynamic processes of development (and have a reasonably quick connection) then the Movies pages are good for watching changes occur.

Other Embryos

The study of human development has relied extensively on studying the process in other model animals. For those wanting to see the process of development in other species then the other embryos pages are a good start.
