Biological Databases

 

Biological databases are libraries of life sciences information, collected from scientific experiments, published literature, high-throughput experiment technology, and computational analyses. They contain information from research areas including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microarray gene expression, and phylogenetics etc.

Biological database design, development, and long-term management is a core area of the discipline of bioinformatics.

This section includes information about different databases such as organism-specific databases, network and pathway databases etc.

1. General Databases: Commonly used databases in field of bioinformatics.

2. Nucleotide Databases : Databases for nucleotide sequence submission and retrieval alongwith databases for genomic sequences.

3. Databases for Proteins: Databases for protein sequence and structure alongwith more specialized databases such as Protein classification databases.

4. Bacterial Databases: Databases for Bacteria.

5. Cyanobacterial Databases: Databases for Cyanobacteria.

6. Fungal Databases: Databases for Fungus.
