Library of Medicine (<a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/nlm/">NLM</a>) at the U.S. National Institutes of Health, is a leader in
the field of <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/bioinformatics/">bioinformatics</a>; it studies computational approaches to fundamental
questions in biology and provides online delivery of biomedical information and
bioinformatics tools. NCBI hosts approximately 40 online literature and molecular
biology databases&#x02014;including PubMed, PubMed Central, and GenBank&#x02014;that
serve millions of users around the world. The second edition of the NCBI Handbook,
released in November 2013 in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of NCBI, aims to
provide a comprehensive overview of the breadth of informatics resources at NCBI,
and an in-depth account of the scope, data, infrastructure, processing, and access
for each major <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/database/">database</a> or resource. The databases and resources are organized here
into seven concept areas: literature, genomes, variation, health, genes and <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/gene-expression/">gene expression</a>, nucleotide, proteins, and small molecules and biological assays. Three
additional categories encompass tools, infrastructure, and metadata. Each concept
area begins with an overview chapter that provides a contextual framework for the
resources discussed under that concept; the overview is followed by separate
chapters that cover individual databases or resources.</p><p>As with the first edition, The <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/ncbi/">NCBI</a> Handbook 2nd Edition is geared towards advanced
users of NCBI resources to provide an understanding of how <a class="def" href="/books/n/handbook2e/glossary/def-item/bioinformatics/">bioinformatics</a> resources
at NCBI work. It is not a step-by-step user manual but complements NCBI user guides,
tutorials, help information, and other existing documentation. It is our intent that
the handbook will reflect, to the extent possible, the current state of databases,
resources, and tools at NCBI, with information updated periodically.</p></div><div><h2>Contents</h2><div class="bktoc_all_cntnr top align_right" style="display:none"><ul
