The problem:
I need two bibliographies, the first one with alphabetic style and sorted by author name. The second in numeric style sorted by cite order. Both have no common references. Somehow I'm searching for something like this in biblatex:

\bibliographystyle{style = alphabetic}
\printbibliography{books.bib} 
\bibliographystyle{style = numerical, sorting = none}  
\printbibliography{links.bib}

I thought biblatex is especially written to work with multiple bibliographies, but I haven't found any other way than the one shown in the MWE (which is obviously a hack).
Actually it works pretty good until I want the other sorting. When I use

\newrefcontext[sorting=none]

The cite numbers turn to zero.

Best Answer

If you pass the option labelnumber to biblatex you can use numeric citations even with style=alphabetic.

The cite command can switch based on keywords, so you can use \cite for all entries regardless of keyword.

For the numeric bibliography we will have to define a new bibliography environment that prints numeric citations. bibliographyNUM is directly copied from numeric.bbx. To set the sorting for the bibliography, just say

\newrefcontext[sorting=none]
\printbibliography[env=bibliographyNUM, title=References, keyword=secondary, resetnumbers]

before the numeric bibliography. The previous bibliography will use the global sorting scheme anyt that is appropriate for alpha-style bibliography. In case it is necessary to keep the sorting scheme assignment local (because the numeric bibliography comes before the alpha bibliography), you would use

\begin{refcontext}[sorting=none]
\printbibliography[env=bibliographyNUM, title=References, keyword=secondary, resetnumbers]
\end{refcontext}

[Tex/LaTex] Biblatex / Biber full citation for first occurrence only

Using a modified tufte-common.def file you can create tufte-latex documents with biblatex. A limitation is that tufte-latex modifies footnotes. So biblatex features such as \smartcite inside footnotes and footnote detection with \iffootnote may not work as intended. Most of this has already been covered in another post.

As for the citation style, you can get most of the way there with some edits to the textcite bibliography macro and \smartcite. Both of these are defined in numeric.cbx.

\documentclass[nobib]{tufte-handout}
\usepackage{hyphenat}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=numeric,citetracker=true,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}

\makeatletter

% If not seen, avoid compact lists and print full citation
\renewbibmacro*{textcite}{%
  \ifciteseen
    {}
    {\clearfield{namehash}}%
  \iffieldequals{namehash}{\cbx@lasthash}
    {\multicitedelim}
    {\cbx@tempa
     \ifciteseen
       {\ifnameundef{labelname}
          {\printfield[citetitle]{labeltitle}}
          {\printnames{labelname}}}
       {\usedriver
          {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}%
           \clearfield{pages}%
           \clearfield{pagetotal}}
          {\thefield{entrytype}}}%
     \addspace\bibopenbracket}%
  \ifnumequal{\value{citecount}}{1}
    {\usebibmacro{prenote}}
    {}%
  \usebibmacro{cite}%
  \savefield{namehash}{\cbx@lasthash}%
  \gdef\cbx@tempa{\bibclosebracket\multicitedelim}}

% Make \smartcite like \textcite
\DeclareCiteCommand{\smartcite}[\iffootnote\mkbibbrackets\mkbibfootnote]
  {\let\cbx@tempa=\empty
   \undef\cbx@lasthash}
  {\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
   \usebibmacro{textcite}}
  {}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}%
   \bibclosebracket}

\makeatother

One of the most prominent and distinctive features of this style is the
extensive use of sidenotes \autocites(See)()[10--15]{knuth:ct:a}[10]{companion}.
There is a wide margin to provide ample room for sidenotes and small figures
\autocite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b}. Any footnotes will automatically be converted to
sidenotes.\footnote{Results from \textcite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,companion} showed
that...}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Some notes:

The autocite=footnote option setting makes \autocite use \smartcite as its backend citation command.
The \ifciteseen test needs citation tracking enabled. In the example global tracking is enabled via citetracker=true. Alternative settings are possible. Refer to the manual for details.
Full citations are printed with \usedriver. The first argument to this command allows you to hook code in before printing. This is a good place to suppress fields with \clearfield and friends. In the example, I suppress the pages and pagetotal fields to avoid confusion with page references in postnotes.
In numeric, \textcite generates compact citation lists. This complicates printing full citations. The edits to textcite take an easy way out by simply replacing the labelname or labeltitle with the full citation.
The numeric style isn't particularly suited to this customization. Refer to the verbose style or any of its variants for some better alternatives.

[Tex/LaTex] Citing (author, journalabbr., year) needed

First thing to do is to add a field for the journal abbreviation to the article entrytype, journalabbr in the MWE. Therefore you need to declare a datamodel (an extra file; in the MWE I've used filecontents to simulate that) and you have to tell biblatex/biber to use it in the package options.

Then you have to modify the cite command, so it fits your needs. \citep from the authoryear-style (your citestyle) uses the \cite command. There you just have to add a switch, which checks if the field journalabbr is empty or not, and prints it out or not.

Last but not least you have to add the abbreviation fields to the entries.

MWE:

\begin{filecontents}{min.bib}

  title={Unexpected protein families including cell defense components feature in the N-myristoylome of a higher eukaryote},
  author={Boisson, B. and Giglione, Carmela and Meinnel, Thierry},

  journalabbr={JBC},
  year={2003},
  publisher={ASBMB}
