| Database | Overview |
|---|---|
| NCBI | The NCBI houses a series of databases relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine and is an important resource for bioinformatics tools and services. Major databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and PubMed, a bibliographic database for biomedical literature. Other databases include the NCBI Epigenomics database. All these databases are available online through the Entrez search engine. |
| DDBJ | The DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) is a biological database that collects DNA sequences.It is located at the National Institute of Genetics (NIG) in the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan. It is also a member of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration or INSDC. It exchanges its data with European Molecular Biology Laboratory at the European Bioinformatics Institute and with GenBank at the National Center for Biotechnology Information on a daily basis. Thus these three databanks contain the same data at any given time. |
| EMBL | The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) maintains the world’s most comprehensive range of freely available and up-to-date molecular data resources. |
| iVenomDB | Insect venom protein database (iVenomDB) is a database specializing in the sequence and structures of insect venom protein, provides a comprehensive platform of venom protein and online bioinformatic analysis. |
| UniProt | The mission of UniProt is to provide the scientific community with a comprehensive, high-quality and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information. |
| KEGG | KEGG is a database resource for understanding high-level functions and utilities of the biological system, such as the cell, the organism and the ecosystem, from molecular-level information, especially large-scale molecular datasets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies. |
| GO | The mission of the GO Consortium is to develop a comprehensive, computational model of biological systems, ranging from the molecular to the organism level, across the multiplicity of species in the tree of life. |
| SalivaDB | SalivaDB is a comprehensive and manually-curated database for salivary biomarkers found in Homo sapiens. |
| Virus-host DB | Virus-Host DB organizes data about the relationships between viruses and their hosts. |
