BioMed Central is an independent publishing house committed to providing immediate open access to peer-reviewed biomedical research.
New
BioModels Database is a repository of mathematical models representing biological systems. It currently hosts a range of models describing processes like signaling, protein-drug interaction interactions, metabolic pathways, epidemic models, and many more. The models that BioModels hosts are usually described in peer-reviewed scientific literature. These models are manually curated and semantically enriched with cross-references to external data resources (such as publications, databases of compounds and pathways, ontologies, etc.).
bioRxiv (pronounced "bio-archive") is a free online archive and distribution service for unpublished preprints in the life sciences.
New
Colloquium Digital Library of Life Sciences, published by Morgan & Claypool, provides access to lectures on research topics in Physiology, Neuroscience, and Cell, Molecular & Developmental Biology. We have access to collections 1-4 (2009-2019).
From basic inorganic chemistry principles to the latest developments and applications in materials, energy, bioscience, nanoscience and catalysis, the Encyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry (EIBC) is an essential online resource for researchers and students working in all areas of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information within the National Library of Medicine of the U.S. National Institutes of Health offers the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), a database of gene expression data. Information about types of gene expression data from any artificial source or organism is retrievable. The entity fields of the GEO include submitter, platform, sample, and series.
GeneReviews are expert-authored, peer-reviewed disease descriptions that apply genetic testing to the diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling of patients and families with specific inherited conditions.
Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions. Set Caltech Library as the library access link. Under settings, look for library links, and search for "California Institute of Technology - Get It @ Caltech."
From the NLM, provides searchable access to the Index-Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon-General's Office, which includes 3.7 million bibliographic items from 1880 to 1961. Also indexes the eTK/EVK2 collections of Latin and English medieval texts. Does not include full-text links.
Information on medicine, nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system, pre-clinical sciences, and more. Provides full text for over 1,800 journals indexed in MEDLINE.
Contains over 11,500 monographs – including historic records not available in the print edition. Also has links to named reactions and a reference table of abbreviations and structures used in the Index. Updated regularly with accurate information curated by experts.
Pharmaceutical Substances (PS) is an online tool which presents the chemical structure and detailed synthetic route, including starting materials and intermediates, to all significant APIs (API = Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient). All information is extracted from patent literature compiled by experienced experts. PS is an important knowledge base for teaching, but also for researchers and process chemists in medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry.

Access is currently restricted to on-campus only. Off-campus access via OpenAthens and the VPN is coming soon.
Featured
30 million citations for biomedical literature from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books from 1946 to present (based on MEDLINE), with selected coverage back to 1809. From the United States National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health.
Free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM).
Featured
Database with over 283 million chemical compounds, 150 million bibliographic records, 67 million reactions, and 46 million bioactivities. Includes a predictive retrosynthesis tool as well as the Medicinal Chemistry sub-database. Originally based on Beilstein, Gmelin and an "Organic" Patent Database (US 1976+ and EP, WO 1978+). Please note you must access either via the VPN or via the "Sign-in via your institution" link and select California Institute of Technology.
Repbase is the most commonly used database of repetitive DNA elements.
A comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information.
