Abstract
Ten Simple Rules for Developing Public Biological Databases.
Highlights
Biological databases are online libraries that contain structured information about living organisms
Primary data could be collected from a community of data generators, such as with GenBank [12], or curated by experts, such as with UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot [13]. Secondary databases, such as InterPro [14], host data collected from other public resources that are often formatted and processed in a uniform way, which can create a more comprehensive and useful data source
One study showed that two thirds of users of online biological resources have limited programming experience [5]
Summary
Biological databases are online libraries that contain structured information about living organisms. Secondary databases, such as InterPro [14], host data collected from other public resources that are often formatted and processed in a uniform way, which can create a more comprehensive and useful data source.
