The National Inventory of Natural Heritage (INPN) is a repository for data needed for the development of conservation strategies and the dissemination of information as well as national and international reports relating to the French natural heritage (plant and animal species, natural habitats and geological heritage). It was created to provide a national reference bank for French biodiversity.

The UK Stem Cell Bank (UKSCB) facilitates the use and sharing of quality-controlled stem cell lines to support scientific research and clinical development of stem cell therapies. The work of the UK Stem Cell Bank covers three main areas: banking for all UK-derived human embryonic stem cell lines, research in the standardisation, quality and safety of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-based products, and regulation regarding international best practice, policies and guidelines relating to stem cell use and regulation around the world.

CAMPR3 (Collection of Anti-Microbial Peptides) has been generated to enhance research into AMP families. The collection is compatible with well-known databases such as PubMed and Uniprot with information like sequence, protein definition, accession numbers, structures as well as relevant organisms. Making this database a useful tool in AMP studies.

Paramecia are unicellular eukaryotes of large size (~ 120 micrometers for P aurelia species) that belong to the ciliate phylum. Ciliates, like the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor, have the axonemal structure in the form of vibrating cilia that assure locomotion and food capture and are essential for pairing of paramecia of opposite mating types during conjugation (sexual reproduction). Like multicellular eukaryotes, ciliates separate germinal and somatic functions, harbouring two different kinds of nuclei. A diploid germinal micronucleus transmits the genetic information to the next sexual generation, while a polyploid somatic macronucleus is responsible for gene expression. Reproducible DNA elimination, which occurs in many animal lineages, takes place in ciliates during sexual reproduction, when a new somatic macronucleus develops from a copy of the germline micronucleus. The somatic genomes of numerous Paramecium species are being sequenced and annotated. ParameciumDB integrates the genomes as they become available, to provide resources for functional and comparative genomics to the community. ParameciumDB interfaces and tools have been redesigned. Your feedback is welcome.

This site provides access to Grey Literature from Europe. The interface is available in French and English. This site replaces OpenSIGLE. The content is available in a variety of European languages.

PDX Finder is an open repository for the upload and storage of clinical, genomic and functional Patient-Derived Xenograph (PDX) data which provides a comprehensive global catalogue of PDX models available for researchers across distributed repository databases. Integrated views are provided for histopathological image data, molecular classification of tumors, host mouse strain metadata, tumor genomic data and metrics on tumor response to chemotherapeutics. The data model for PDX Finder is based on the minimal information standard for PDX models developed in collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders who create and/or use PDX models in basic and pre-clinical cancer research.
