Omics databases in plant science: key to systems biology

Recently, high-throughput technologies for comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses have been developed. Large-scale ‘omics data’ obtained from such experimental methods have rapidly accumulated and been stored into web databases. In addition, the number of web databases for molecular biology has rapidly increased, since most new projects construct and maintain new web datab...

MetaBase—the wiki-database of biological databases

Biology is generating more data than ever. As a result, there is an ever increasing number of publicly available databases that analyse, integrate and summarize the available data, providing an invaluable resource for the biological community. As this trend continues, there is a pressing need to organize, catalogue and rate these resources, so that the information they contain can be most effec...

Access to Molecular Biology Databases

The LiMB database was created to catalogue and begin coonhnanng access to the rapidly pmllfemthrg databases relevant to molecular biology. LiMB contains information about these databases and ls cummtly implemented in a relational database management system tbat allow% for complex, multiconditional queries. We present an overview of LiMB, a description of its cummt hnplementation, and a discussi...

DoD2007: 1082 molecular biology databases

UNLABELLED Molecular biology databases are an integral part of biological research. To date, many databases were established with varied options to access associated biological data. Depending on the data being annotated, some are architecturally similar while others are specialized. In order to provide a partial solution to data integration, we report Database of Databases (DoD2007), construct...
