Data Resources
- National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)NCBI advances science and health by providing access to biomedical and genomic information through a variety of databases and research tools (a href=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/guide/all/ target=_blank>view the full list). All information on the NCBI website is available to the public.
- Dryad Digital RepositoryDryad collects data files associated with any published article in the sciences or medicine, as well as software scripts and other files important to the article. Find open data packages available for reuse or submit your own data.
- Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)GBIF is an international open data infrastructure for biodiversity information. The data accessible through GBIF relate to evidence about more than 1.6 million species, collected over three centuries of natural history exploration and including current observations from citizen scientists, researchers and automated monitoring programs.
- iDigBioThe Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio) database provides data and images for millions of biological specimens.
- MorphobankAccess phenotype information on the anatomy, physiology, behavior, and other features of species. Through this project, scientists from all over the world share data in order to build a Tree of Life, the genealogy of all living and extinct species. Genotypes (e.g., DNA sequences) related to this work are archived at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
- Science.govScience.gov searches over 40 databases and over 2000 selected websites, offering 200 million pages of authoritative U.S. government science information, including research on biology, ecology, genetics, agriculture, natural resources, and earth and ocean sciences.
