General description

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is designed to develop new information technologies to promote understanding fundamental genetic and molecular processes that control health and disease. NCBI advances science and health and supports several popular data resources, including PubMed and PubMed Central, Bookshelf, BLAST, Nucleotide, Genome, SNP, Gene, Protein, and PubChem.

More specifically, the NCBI is charged with creating automated systems for storing and analyzing knowledge about biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology; coordinating efforts to gather biotechnology information nationally and internationally; facilitating the use of such databases and software by the medical and research communities; and researching advanced methods of computer-based information processing for analyzing the function and structure of biologically important molecules.
