Types of Biological Databases
Primary Databases
- Also known as archival databases
- Contain experimentally derived data like genome sequence and macromolecular structure
- Data is not curated or modified
- Data is uniquely identified with an accession number that never changes
- Examples: GenBank, DDBJ, PDB, SwissProt, PIR, TrEMBL, Metacyc
Secondary Databases
- Contain analyzed results from primary databases
- Data is highly curated and processed
- Contain more valuable knowledge compared to primary databases
- Examples: InterPro, UniProt Knowledgebase
Hybrid Databases
- Some databases have both primary and secondary characteristics
- Example: UniProt accepts primary sequences derived from peptide sequencing experiments
