DBHR: a collection of databases relevant to human research

Abstract

Background: The achievement of the human genome project provides a basis for the systematic study of the human genome from evolutionary history to disease-specific medicine. With the explosive growth of biological data, a growing number of biological databases are being established to support human-related research. Objective: The main objective of our study is to store, organize and share data in a structured and searchable manner. In short, we have planned the future development of new features in the database research area. Materials & methods: In total, we collected and integrated 680 human databases from scientific published work. Multiple options are presented for accessing the data, while original links and short descriptions are also presented for each database. Results & discussion: We have provided the latest collection of human research databases on a single platform with six categories: DNA database, RNA database, protein database, expression database, pathway database and disease database. Conclusion: Taken together, our database will be useful for further human research study and will be modified over time. The database has been implemented in PHP, HTML, CSS and MySQL and is available freely at https://habdsk.org/database.php.
