INTRODUCTION
This chapter is a daily companion for bench workers who need to use web‐based tools as well as the databases for various bioinformatics work. The major databases and tools required for basic bioinformatics jobs have been outlined, along with the uniform/universal resource locator (URL). It is not possible to provide an exhaustive list of the links to bioinformatics tools and databases in an appendix of this book. Some of the most well‐known and frequently used sites have been covered here. Users are requested to bookmark the URLs in their systems and also keep abreast with the changes in the URLs of the pages, if applicable.
