TL;DR: The dbSNP database is a general catalog of genome variation to address the large-scale sampling designs required by association studies, gene mapping and evolutionary biology, and is integrated with other sources of information at NCBI such as GenBank, PubMed, LocusLink and the Human Genome Project data.

TL;DR: The dbGaP as discussed by the authors is a public repository for individual-level phenotype, exposure, genotype and sequence data and the associations between them, including documents, individual phenotypic variables, tables of trait data, sets of genotype data, computed phenotype-genotype associations, and groups of study subjects who have given similar consents for use of their data.

TL;DR: The history of the population represented by the public genome sequence is one of collapse followed by a recent phase of mild size recovery, and the inferred times of collapse and recovery are Upper Paleolithic, in agreement with archaeological evidence of the initial modern human colonization of Europe.

TL;DR: This work presents Best Match, a new relevance search algorithm for PubMed that leverages the intelligence of users and cutting-edge machine-learning technology as an alternative to the traditional date sort order.

TL;DR: The recently developed PubMed Labs is detailed, an experimental system for users to test new search features/tools and provide feedback that enables us to make more informed decisions about potential changes to improve the search quality and overall usability of PubMed.
