About these tools

Not all of these knowledge bases and research and reference tools directly relate to laboratory and other types of informatics. However, they all could be considered useful tools for anyone researching either informatics or other scientific disciplines. Note: some of the resources found here may be repeated in other section of the resource guide. Additionally, there may be tools useful for research not found here but found elsewhere in the resource guide. For example, many open-access journals may make for great research tools, but they appear elsewhere in the LIMSWiki:Resources guide.
