1. 1000 Genomes
- Provider: 1000 Genomes Project
- Contents: free , indexing , open access , research tools , search engine , sequencing data
- Access Levels: Fee-Based Member , Free , Non-Registered TMC User , On-Site Visitor , Online Visitor , Open Access , TMC Academic User , TMC Non-Academic User
- Descriptions: 1000 Genomes: a deep catalog of human genetic variation "...is the first project to sequence the genomes of a large number of people, to provide a comprehensive resource on human genetic variation... The goal of the 1000 Genomes Project is to find most genetic variants that have frequencies of at least 1% in the populations studied." 1000 Genomes is an international endeavor, with participants from institutes, government and universities all over the world. "DNA from the samples will be available for researchers to follow up with more detailed studies of variation in particular regions. The cell lines will allow researches to study cellular phenotypes such as gene expression, epigenetic patterns, and drug response. The extensive genotype data available on the samples, and the trio samples for some of the populations, will allow researchers to map regions of the genome computationally that affect the cellular phenotypes, and to study the heritability of these phenotypes."

Covers materials in all formats and periods, including printed works dating back to the 15th century. The records describe resources for agriculture and allied disciplines, including animal and veterinary sciences, entomology, plant sciences, forestry, aquaculture and fisheries, farming and agricultural economics, extension and education, food and human nutrition, and earth and environmental sciences. AGRICOLA itself does not contain the text of the materials cited, but thousands of the records are linked to full-text online documents. Updated daily. For materials not linked, see the Help text on Requesting Materials. AGRICOLA is organized into two bibliographic data sets: the NAL Online Public Access Catalog contains citations to books, audiovisuals, serials, and other materials from the Library's collection, along with some records for items not held by NAL. The Article Citation Database includes citations, many with abstracts, to journal articles (see Journals Indexed in AGRICOLA), book chapters, reports and reprints. Each data set can be searched separately, or the two may be searched as one database.

Each active portal features news, conferences and papers on various facets of the discipline, information on protocols and approaches to research, new research technologies, data-sharing, contact information and recent publications in various areas of current interest to researchers. The ultimate aim of these portals seems to be not to provide a free service to scientists, but to gauge whether there is enough participation and interest to justify Nature's launching a new journal covering that area of science; when conditions are favorable, that is done, and the portal is no longer open for new activity.
