Hey Ejc, thanks a mil.
Will be working all through the weekend.
Are you in Dublin University yourself?

Thanks Ejc for all the assistance.You are indeed a life saver.
I have just bought Endnote online and i'm currently downloading it to my laptop while i'm being online here on my office pc.
I'm a doctor myself but i'm a psychiatrist.
What i intend doing is follow your advice really and try and do the bare minimum.
The assignment is the only thing holding me up.I have passed all my written exams.
After this assignment,next stop is my other last 2 assignments one of which is on the benefits of electronic health records in any institution which might make me go in search of another forum on health or medical informatics.lol.

My gratitude to Cheekybint and Gennia as well.I'm actually at the teething stages of the Msc course in Health informatics with little or no computer background.
I have perused your suggested websites and i've even had the opportunity to check out http://www.ebi.ac.uk/2can/databases/index.html
I guess my other difficulty is trying to start typing out in 1500-2000 words without knowing how to get the references or bibliography in as a way of preventing plagiarism.
Thanks.

Hi Ejc, thanks for your help.I'm doing Msc in Health Informatics, but the Bioinformatics has been thrown in my mix for it's good measure.lol.
I have checked the lecture notes and no databases given and i have now been saddled to figure this out fast as time is no longer on my side.

Thanks everyone, but could anyone give me some direction as to how to go about answering this question as i'm new to bioinformatics?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
