Exploring Genomes Web based Bioinformatics Tutorials is a brief handbook with an an accompanying Web site designed to guide students through live searches and analyses on the most commonly used National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. Each tutorial is written as an interactive guide to an aspect of the NCBI site. The user's browser window is split into two parts with guidance provided as text on one side of the screen while the main part of the window is directly connected to NCBI. Using real examples from the research literature, the tutorial takes students through a live analysis and tells them precisely how to run the programs and interpret NCBI results.
