I attended a seminar today where the speaker mentioned a gene whose name or function I've never heard of before. I used to use Wikipedia to look up a gene but that source is frowned upon by the scientific communtiy due to its unreliability. Now I use NCBI's Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) which gives a nice condense summary of common knowledge on a gene.
Another one of the graduate students in my lab suggested iHOP that not only has a cool looking monkey on the front page but is also presents a page describing a gene that is loaded with links to various abstracts contained within PubMed.
What tools does everyone else out there use?
