Comprehensive collection of biological databases and resources for insect genomics research

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)

Genomics

The National Center for Biotechnology Information advances science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information.

UniProt

Proteomics

The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation.

Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)

Pathways

KEGG is a database resource for understanding high-level functions and utilities of the biological system, such as the cell, the organism and the ecosystem, from molecular-level information, especially large-scale molecular datasets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.

The Gene Ontology (GO)

Ontology

The Gene Ontology (GO) knowledgebase is the world's largest source of information on the functions of genes.

DDBJ

Genomics

Bioinformation and DDBJ Center provides sharing and analysis services for data from life science researches and advances science.

EMBL-EBI

Genomics

The European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) is part of EMBL, Europe's flagship laboratory for the life sciences.

National Genomics Data Center (NGDC)

Genomics

The National Genomics Data Center (NGDC), part of the China National Center for Bioinformation (CNCB), advances life & health sciences by providing open access to a suite of resources, with the aim to translate big data into big discoveries and support worldwide activities in both academia and industry.

GigaDB

Data Repository

GigaDB contains 2073 discoverable, trackable, and citable datasets that have been assigned DOIs and are available for public download and use.

DNA Zoo

Conservation

The DNA Zoo is a consortium focused on facilitating conservation efforts through the rapid generation and release of high-quality genomics resources.

DRYAD

Data Repository

Dryad is an open source, community driven project that takes a unique approach to data publication and digital preservation.

Ensembl

Genome Browser

Ensembl is a genome browser for vertebrate genomes that supports research in comparative genomics, evolution, sequence variation and transcriptional regulation. Ensembl annotate genes, computes multiple alignments, predicts regulatory function and collects disease data.

miRBase

Non-coding RNA

The miRBase database is a searchable database of published miRNA sequences and annotation. Each entry in the miRBase Sequence database represents a predicted hairpin portion of a miRNA transcript (termed mir in the database), with information on the location and sequence of the mature miRNA sequence (termed miR).
