Internet: a major resource for toxicologists.

Abstract

Use of the Internet in developing countries is now growing faster. Internet has created a new conduit not only for communication but also in the access, sharing and exchange of information among scientists. The Internet is now viewed as the world's biggest library where retrieval of scientific literature and other information resources are possible within seconds. Large volumes of toxicological information resources are available on the Internet. This review outlines some sites that may be of great importance and useful to the toxicologist.

Malaria-GENOMAP: a web-based tool for exploring genomic variation of malaria parasites.

MOTIVATION: Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, imposes a significant public health burden. While Plasmodium falciparum remains the primary target of elimination strategies due to its high mortality rate, lesser-known species such as P. malariae, P. vivax, and P. knowlesi continue to contribute to substantial human morbidity. Genomic approaches, including whole-genome sequencing, offer powerful tools for understanding the biology, transmission, and emerging drug resistance of these neglected Plasmodium species. However, there is an urgent need for informatic tools to summarize and visualize the high-dimensional and complex genomic data generated. RESULTS: We developed Malaria-GENOMAP, a user-friendly web-based tool, which integrates genomic variant data, such as allele frequencies, with geographical maps and chromosome-wide to gene views for in-depth exploration. The tool includes variation from P. knowlesi (n = 139), P. malariae (n = 158), P. ovale curtisi (n = 36), P. ovale wallikeri (n = 47), P. simium (n = 38), and P. vivax (n = 1359). It enables the investigation of population structure, geographic associations of mutations, and putative drug resistance markers, offering valuable insights for malaria control efforts. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Malaria-GENOMAP is available online at https://genomics.lshtm.ac.uk/malaria-genomaps.

This is the seventh in a series of short reviews of internet-based radiological educational resources and will focus on oncological radiology. What follows is a list of carefully selected websites to save you time searching them out for yourself. Most of the sites cater for trainee or non-specialist radiologists but may also be of interest to oncology trainees and specialists for use in teaching. Hyperlinks are available in the electronic version of this article.
