چکیده

Cytokines are subdivided in 12 sub-families and are described as multi-functional molecules that play an important biological activity in host defense system against pathogens, in homeostasis, tissue repair, cell growth and development. CytokineDB is an annotated database that collects biological information regarding the cytokines family in human and will be periodically updated by including new biological information. This database is freely available online and can be accessed at the URL: http://www.cro-m.eu/CytokineDB/

Database model for taxonomic and observation data

This article describes a comprehensive information model for the recording of taxonomic and observation data from literature, field collecting and other sources. The model is based on an approach using hierarchical decomposition of data areas into atomic data elements and abstraction into an entity relationship model. It encompasses taxa of all ranks, nothotaxa and hybrid formulae, unnamed taxa...
