Medical Search Engines

Search engines help you find relevant and quality content as Google, Yahoo and other ordinary search engines search the entire web that leads to the inclusion of spams, advertisements and useless sites.

If you need even more information about genetics, quality search engines can help you.

Scienceroll Search is a personalized medical search engine powered by Polymeta.com. You can choose which databases to search in and which one to exclude from your list.

It works with well-known medical search engines and databases and it's totally open to add new ones or remove those users don’t really like.



You can use the topic clusters to get closer to the information you need. And if there are too many results, just exclude some of the resources it searches in. It also lets you order results by date and lets you preview the results without leaving the page.

WolframAlpha

Wolfram|Alpha's long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. We aim to collect and curate all objective data; implement every known model, method, and algorithm; and make it possible to compute whatever can be computed about anything. Our goal is to build on the achievements of science and other systematizations of knowledge to provide a single source that can be relied on by everyone for definitive answers to factual queries.

You can translate a DNA base sequence and find occurrences in the human genome:



or you cab find the DNA sequence at given position on a chromosome:



or you can get information about a SNP:



or you can analyze a human gene and locate it on a chromosome:
