Overview
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is a vital part of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), providing access to a vast array of biomedical and genomic information. Founded in 1988 by Dr. David Lipman, NCBI has become a leading resource for scientists, researchers, and students, offering tools and databases such as PubMed, GenBank, and BLAST. With collaborations with organizations like the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), NCBI plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of biotechnology and its applications.
