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.
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.
i5k The i5k initiative has a broad and inclusive mandate. We provide guidelines for genome projects, hold webinars, and maintain an up-to-date list of sequenced arthropod genomes.
InsectBase InsectBase intends to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers who have interests in analyzing insect genes. The database contains more than 12 millions of sequences, encompassing the genomes of 138 insects, transcriptomes of 116 insects, gene sets of 61 insects, 36 gene families of 60 insects, 7,544 miRNAs of 69 insects, 96,925 piRNAs from two insects, 22,536 pathways of 78 insects, 679,881 untranslated regions (UTR) of 84 insects and 160,905 coding sequences (CDS) of 74 insects.
HGD The Hymenoptera Genome Database (HGD) is a genome informatics resource that supports the research of insects of the order Hymenoptera (e.g. bees, wasps, ants). HGD provides tools for data mining (HymenopteraMine), sequence searching (BLAST), genome browsing (JBrowse), genome annotation (Apollo) and data download.
WaspBase WaspBase,a genomic resource for the interactions among parasitic wasps, insect hosts and plants, containing 573 transcriptomes of 35 parasitic wasps and the genomes of 12 parasitic wasps, 5 insect hosts and 8 plants.
BeeBase BeeBase is a comprehensive sequence data source for the bee research community. It currently hosts the genomes of Apis mellifera and three of its pathogens, as well as Bombus terrestris and B. impatiens; the genomes of two additional species, Apis dorsata and A. florea are currently under analysis and will soon be incorporated. BeeBase is built on assemblies Amel_4.5 of the A. mellifera genome, Bter_1.0 of the B. terrestris genome and Bimp_2.0 of the B. impatiens genome.
Fourmidable Fourmidable is an infrastructure to curate and share the emerging genetic, molecular, and functional genomic data and protocols for ants.
ProteomicsDB ProteomicsDB: a protein-centric in-memory database for the exploration of large collections of quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics data.
PDB The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a database for the three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, or, increasingly, cryo-electron microscopy.
Arachnoserver ArachnoServer is a database storing information on the protein toxins from spider venoms.
Conoserver ConoServer is a database specializing in the sequence and structures of conopeptides, which are peptides expressed by carnivorous marine cone snails.
ATDB Animal toxin database (ATDB), a uni-database platform for animal toxins, containing more than 3235 animal toxins from UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL and related toxin databases as well as published literature.
SVDB Snake venom database (SVDB), an automated customized, subject specific, non-redundant generic data repository built to communicate with and extract all snake venom, toxins and venom components related information from millions of data.
