国家生物技术信息中心（NCBI）拥有39个文献和分子生物学数据库，包含近5亿条记录。随着这些数据和相关资源和工具的复杂性不断扩大，对教育资源的需求也在不断增加，以帮助研究人员，临床医生，信息专家和公众利用NCBI提供的丰富公共数据。本文介绍了NCBI教育页面（www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Education）提供的教育资源。这些资源包括为新用户设计的材料，如关于NCBI和NCBI指南，以及文档，常见问题（FAQ）和NCBI书架上的著作，如NCBI帮助手册和NCBI手册。NCBI还提供教学材料，如教程，习题集和教育工具，如氨基酸浏览器，PSSM查看器和Ebot。NCBI还提供培训计划，包括发现研讨会，网络研讨会和会议教程。为了帮助用户了解最新情况，NCBI制作了在线NCBI新闻，并提供RSS提要和邮件列表，沿着出现在Facebook、Twitter和YouTube上。
The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) hosts 39 literature and molecular biology databases containing almost half a billion records. As the complexity of these data and associated resources and tools continues to expand, so does the need for educational resources to help investigators, clinicians, information specialists and the general public make use of the wealth of public data available at the NCBI. This review describes the educational resources available at NCBI via the NCBI Education page (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Education). These resources include materials designed for new users, such as About NCBI and the NCBI Guide, as well as documentation, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and writings on the NCBI Bookshelf such as the NCBI Help Manual and the NCBI Handbook. NCBI also provides teaching materials such as tutorials, problem sets and educational tools such as the Amino Acid Explorer, PSSM Viewer and Ebot. NCBI also offers training programs including the Discovery Workshops, webinars and tutorials at conferences. To help users keep up-to-date, NCBI produces the online NCBI News and offers RSS feeds and mailing lists, along with a presence on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
