  • Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA) - (dead link)
    "is a database of the genes and phenes* that have been documented in a wide range of animal species other than those for which databases already exist (human, rat and mouse). It is modelled on, and is complementary to, McKusick's Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM)."

  • Entrez Popset
    "A PopSet is a set of DNA sequences that have been collected to analyse the evolutionary relatedness of a population. The population could originate from different members of the same species, or from organisms from different species."
  • Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)
    "GEO is our effort to build a gene expression data repository and online resource for the retrieval of gene expression data from any organism or artificial source."
  • Reference Sequence (RefSeq)
    "The Reference Sequence (RefSeq) collection aims to provide a comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant set of sequences, including genomic DNA, transcript (RNA), and protein products, for major research organisms...RefSeq standards serve as the basis for medical, functional, and diversity studies; they provide a stable reference for gene identification and characterization, mutation analysis, expression studies, polymorphism discovery, and comparative analyses. RefSeqs are used as a reagent for the functional annotation of some genome sequencing projects, including those of human and mouse."
  • Viral Reference Genomes - (dead link)
    "This collection of virus genomic sequences is a part of the Entrez Genomes that provides curated sequence data and related information for the community."
