By popular request, the U Libraries are now providing access to the Encyclopedia of Genetics, Genomics, Proteomics, and Bioinformatics from Wiley. Online access is available directly at this link: http://www.lib.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wil.cgi?res=eogg, or through the Libraries catalog, MNCAT (do a "browse for" search on the title). I'll also be adding the Encyclopedia to subject-oriented pages such as this page for Molecular Biology.
This on the Encyclopedia from the publisher:
"The focus is on studies based on the human and mouse genomes, but other important model eukaryotes, as well as pathogenic bacteria, are given in-depth coverage. With articles written by established leaders in the field as well as by rising stars, this work will be an essential reference tool for all members of genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics and bioinformatics teams, from students, to post-docs, to senior scientists, and a 'must have' for university and research institute libraries. It will also provide a valuable resource for pharmaceutical and biotech companies that have an interest in this important and rapidly developing field.
"For readers approaching new fields, there is a comprehensive Glossary that explains over 500 terms in a clear and concise way."
