Annotated genomes for vertebrates and model organisms, with variation and comparative data. Gene summary pages make focused sources for genetics questions.
Ensembl's gene summary pages are a tighter, more focused source than a general search when a notebook question is about one specific gene — variant data and cross-species comparisons are right there on the page. It covers vertebrates and standard model organisms well. The interface leans on bioinformatics notation, so some genetics background helps in reading it.
Import into Gemini Notebook
- 1Copy the link above (or a specific page from the site).
- 2In your notebook, click Add source → Website.
- 3Paste the link and confirm — several links can be pasted at once, one per line.
These sources mix journal PDFs, dataset docs and institutional reports — the PDF or article page imports far better than a paywalled landing page.
More science & medicine sources
- Allen Brain AtlasGene-expression and anatomy maps of mouse and human brains. Import the documentation and white papers; the atlases themselves are interactive tools.
- bioRxivPreprints in biology posted before peer review. Free PDFs of the newest life-science results — check whether a published version exists yet.
- CDC Data & StatisticsUS public-health datasets from the CDC, exportable as CSV. Pair a dataset export with the topic's fact-sheet PDFs for grounded health notebooks.
- CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature)EBSCO's index of nursing and allied-health literature. Needs institutional access; export article PDFs through your library to import them.
- ClinicalTrials.govRegistry of clinical studies worldwide. Individual trial record URLs import as Website sources with design, endpoints, and posted results.
- Cochrane LibrarySystematic reviews that weigh the medical evidence on a question. Abstracts and plain-language summaries are free; full reviews often need access.
- EmbaseElsevier's biomedical literature database, strong on drug trials, devices and conference abstracts. Subscription only — usually reached via a university library.
- FIFA Research ProgrammeFIFA's testing and research arm for pitches, balls and football technology. Its published standards and studies suit sports science notebooks.
- GenBankNCBI's open archive of DNA and RNA sequences. Record pages include annotations and publication links useful for genetics notebooks.
- Global Cancer Observatory (GCO / GLOBOCAN)IARC's cancer statistics hub: incidence, mortality and prevalence by country and cancer site. The fact sheets import cleanly for epidemiology research.
- Global Health Data ExchangeIHME's catalog of population health data: Global Burden of Disease estimates, surveys, and vital statistics. Good for grounding country-level health comparisons.
- Global Index Medicus (WHO)WHO search across regional medical literature databases, strong on studies from low- and middle-income countries that PubMed can miss. Many records link to open PDFs.
- International Journal of Sports Physiology and PerformanceJournal on physiology and performance in elite athletes — training load, testing, recovery. Abstracts are free; full articles are subscription-only.
- Journal of Sports SciencesPeer-reviewed research spanning biomechanics, physiology, and match analysis in sport. Subscription needed for full text; abstracts import freely.
- medRxivPreprints in medicine and public health, posted before peer review. Cite with care — flag the unreviewed status in your notebook notes when importing.
- NASA Astrophysics Data SystemThe search engine astronomers actually use — millions of astronomy and physics papers. Most records link to arXiv or publisher full text you can import.
- NatureFlagship multidisciplinary science journal. News and open-access articles import directly; paywalled papers need institutional access first.
- NIH National Library of MedicineUmbrella for PubMed, MedlinePlus, and vast biomedical collections. Start here to find authoritative health sources worth importing.
- OpenNeuroOpen brain-imaging datasets — MRI, EEG, MEG and more — in standardized BIDS format. Import the dataset descriptions and papers; raw scans stay external.
- PLOS ONELarge open-access megajournal spanning science and medicine. Every article is free full text, so PDFs import without paywall trouble.
