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. ...

In two centuries of American ornithology, The Birds of North America (BNA) is only the fourth comprehensive reference covering the life histories of North American birds. This series provides detailed scientific for each of the 716 species of birds nesting in the USA and Canada. The print version of BNA was completed in 2002. Now as an online project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BNA is poised to become a living resource. BNA Online will build image and video galleries showing behaviors, habitat, nests, eggs and nestlings. BNA Online offers subscriptions for individuals using a single user name and password. ...

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]
Saccharomyces Genome Database is a scientific database of the molecular biology and genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is commonly known as baker's or budding yeast. (...) SGD contains the sequences of yeast genes and proteins; descriptions and classifications of their biological roles, molecular functions, and subcellular localizations; links to literature information; links to functional genomics datasets; and tools for analysis and comparison of sequences. The SGD Home page is the main entry point for the database. SGD is aimed at scientists; collected information about yeast for the non-scientist can be found at the Yeast Virtual Library. SGD does not collect medical information, and SGD curators cannot answer health-related questions. ... [Information of the supplier]

The Jena Library of Biological Macromolecules (JenaLib) is aimed at a better dissemination of information on three-dimensional biopolymer structures with an emphasis on visualization and analysis. It provides access to all structure entries deposited at the Protein Data Bank (PDB) or at the Nucleic Acid Database (NDB). In addition, basic information on the architecture of biopolymer structures is available. The JenaLib intends to fulfill both scientific and educational needs. ... [Information of the supplier]
Plants for a Future are a registered charity; we are compiling a database, which currently consists of approximately 7000 species of plants. We research and provide information on edible and otherwise useful plants suitable for growing outdoors in a temperate climate. There are now 1500 species of edible plants growing at 'The Field' in Cornwall, our base since 1989. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Rat Genome Database RatMap is focused on presenting rat genes, DNA-markers, QTL:s etc that is localized to chromosome. The database is dedicated to rat gene nomenclature and should be consulted for queries in such. RatMap is formally sorting under the (RGNC) and is maintained at the Dept for Cell and Molecular Biology, Göteborg University, Sweden. Within RatMap you can find information on: rat gene nomenclature, chromosomal positions for genes, DNA-markers, QTL:s etc., predicted position for more than 6000 rat genes (see GAPP), gene function, literature references, DNA-sequences with links to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank, unigene and Locus Link ID:s and links. ...

The atlas of Florida vascular plants is a joint effort by the Institute for Systematic Botany, the University of South Florida and the Florida Center for Community Design and Research to provide users with a comprehensive searchable database of vascular plants in the State of Florida. Records are based on collections in the four major Florida institutional herbaria having the largest holdings of Florida plants: University of Florida (FLAS), Florida State University (FSU), Fairchild Tropical Gardens (FTG), and University of South Florida (USF). ...
