Other International Omics Resources (Omics Series, 7)
The resources for today were selected to illustrate the range of resources and activities happening around the globe. These may represent initiatives at the level of a single country, or collaborative efforts involving a region. Just as with the United States governmental resources, these sites often provide a range of information including both education for the general public and indepth detailed resources for researchers. Researcher resources begin with publications and presentations continuing on to databases and datasets. The resources are usually available in English, although sometimes they are provided in multiple languages.
