Thought I’d start sharing some of the websites I come across. Some of you might find them very useful. I’ll continue adding them as I go along.

Enjoy! 
I’ll add a few:
A great video lecture that introduced RNA folding algorithms (meant for CS majors so it’s light on the biochemistry)
http://echoserver.sinc.stonybrook.edu…
A collection of powerpoints by some of the guys who came up with the energy function to begin with (esp. the 4/7/09 lecture, the “secondary structure” lecture from 4/4/07, and Prof. Turner’s Lecture)
Video’s of the PCR process.

You can also find more on youtube, and to a lesser degree dnatube.
Database Repository mostly focusing on Cancer.

The Comparative RNA Web Site and Project has a remarkable RNA2DMap:
The RNA Integrity Database (RINdb)
I can’t seem to find this, but it is quite highly referenced.
RNA Quality Control
http://www.biomedicalgenomics.org/RNA…
Nucleic Acid Database
http://ndbserver.rutgers.edu/
RNA Strand (The RNA secondary STRucture and statistical ANalysis Database )
http://www.rnasoft.ca/strand/
DNA BAser
http://www.dnabaser.com/download/DNA-…
GoCore
http://www.helsinki.fi/project/ritvos…
This one seems quite promising, in that it can automate a lot of what we do in Excel. I havent been able to get this working though. Hopefully someone else can figure it out.
Regarding the RNA Integrity Database, following are two links:
