uBio is an initiative within the science library community to join international efforts to create and utilize a comprehensive and collaborative catalog of names of all living (and once-living) organisms. The Taxonomic Name Server (TNS) catalogs names and classifications to enable tools that can help users find information on living things using any of the names that may be related to an organism. (...) uBio provides access to the Taxonomic Name Service via SOAP. SOAP allows users to access uBio data as if it were a local resource. For example, a library may have a database of fish pictures it serves. Users may query by name to find pictures. The developer of this system could use NameBank to access additional names that can be used to ensure than name queries find the pictures even if the name wasn't originally attached to the picture. ...

PlantsT is a site dedicated to the uptake and translocation of mineral nutrients and toxic metals in plants, with the objective of identifying gene networks that control these processes. The PlantsT database is part of the Plant Genome Program for the National Science Foundation. [Information of the supplier]
The eSkeletons Project website is devoted to the study of human and primate comparative anatomy. It offers a set of digitized versions of skeletons in 2-D and 3-D in full color, animations, and much supplemental information. [Information of the supplier, modified]
Diese Webseite ist ein Angebot der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule ETH Zürich als Hilfestellung zur Suche von relevanten Datenbanken. Aus den vier Themenbereichen kann zwischen Chemie, Bio-, Pharmazeutischen und Materialwissenschaften ausgewählt werden, die Datenbanksuche kann aber auch durch die Auswahl von Unterkategorien dieser Themenbereiche verfeinert werden. Darüber hinaus ist die Suche nach individuellen Suchbegriffen und Anwendungsgebieten/Fragestellungen ebenfalls möglich. ... [Redaktion vifabio]

DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan) began DNA data bank activities in earnest in 1986 at the National Institute of Genetics (NIG). From the beginning, DDBJ has been functioning as one of the International DNA Databases, including EBI in Europe and NCBI in the USA as the two other members. Consequently, we have been collaborating with the two data banks through exchanging data and information on Internet and by regularly holding two meetings, the International DNA Data Banks Advisory Meeting and the International DNA Data Banks Collaborative Meeting. DDBJ is the sole DNA data bank in Japan, which is officially certified to collect DNA sequences from researchers and to issue the internationally recognized accession number to data submitters. We collect data mainly from Japanese researchers, but of course accept data and issue the accession number to researchers in any other countries. Since we exchange the collected data with EMBL/EBI and GenBank/NCBI on a daily basis, the three data banks share virtually the same data at any given time. We also provide worldwide many tools for data retrieval and analysis developed by at DDBJ and others. ... [Information of the supplier]
A database is a model of a piece of the world. RegulonDB in this sense is a model of the complex regulation of transcription initiation or regulatory network of the cell, on the one hand. On the other hand, it is also a model of the organization of the genes in transcription units, operons and simple and complex regulons. In this sense, RegulonDB is a computational model of mechanisms of transcriptional regulation. ... [Information of the supplier]
