Example of Bioinformatic Databases: Primary, Secondary, Microarray, Model organism, and Metabolic

Example of Primary Databases

• ENA, GenBank and DDBJ (nucleotide sequence)
• ArrayExpress and GEO (functional genomics data)
• PDB(Protein Data Bank); coordinates of three-dimensional macromolecular structures)

Example of Secondary Databases

• InterPro (protein families, motifs and domains)
• UniProt Knowledgebase (sequence and functional information on proteins)
• Ensembl (variation, function, regulation and more layered onto whole genome sequences)

Example of Microarray Databases

• Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) from NCBI or ArrayExpress from EBI.

Example of Model organism Databases

• dictyBase
•  FlyBase
•  Xenbase 
• EcoCyc

Example of Metabolic Databases

• MetaCyc is a highly curated metabolic database that contains metabolic pathways, enzymes, metabolites, and reactions from all domains of life 
• KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)
