Genome Biology "serves the biological research community as an international forum, both in print and on the Web, for the dissemination, discussion and critical review of information about all areas of biology informed by genomic research." While a paid subscription is required to access all features on the Genome Biology Web site, non-subscribers will find a number of open-access resources as well. Offerings include research articles, conference reports, software downloads, lab protocols, and much more. This frequently updated and ever-evolving Web site will also publish and maintain databases at some point; users are encouraged to submit comments and suggestions.
