PharmGKB: The Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base
PharmGKB is a publicly available Internet research tool. Its aim is to aid researchers in understanding how genetic variation among individuals contributes to differences in reactions to drugs.

NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information)
Large number of interlinked specialty databases useful to molecular biologists, geneticists, and others researching genetic and protein sequences. The "How To" section of the NCBI site provides strategies for obtaining specific data from the system.

Access: No restrictions.

Pharmacogenetics Research Network
This is a nationwide collaboration of scientists studying the effect of genes on people's responses to a wide variety of medicines.
Ensembl Genome Browser
Ensembl is a genome browser for vertebrate genomes that supports research in comparative genomics, evolution, sequence variation and transcriptional regulation. Ensembl annotate genes, computes multiple alignments, predicts regulatory function and collects disease data.
