How to Use the Table of Web Resources for Basic Cancer Genetics Research
1. The information resources listed below are categorized as being Browsable, Queryable, Linking, or some combination of these. Browsable resources are those that allow users to navigate information using hyperlinked text. Queryable resources provide some mechanism for queries using keywords and/or controlled vocabularies. Linking resources provide mostly hyperlinks to other web sites and are often organized by a specific topic area.2. If a cell in the table has a check mark in it, the resource listed has information related to the column category.
3. If a resources requires users to register or to subscribe (usually an access fee is involved) to gain access it is noted in the table.
4. Click on the hyperlinked URL to navigate to the listed resource
