Immune Databases
We are constantly on the look out for databases and resources. It’s a full time job. Our current search space includes about 500 databases and genomics resources. We have a masterlist of over 3,000 such genomics/biological, databases, but we’ve culled them to the top used and useful ones for the search. That’s not to say there aren’t extremely useful resources within the other 2,500 (phew), there definitely are!, but we had to start somewhere. We want the list to be highly useful and relevant, so we started with most highly useful and data rich. It will indeed grow over time, the blog here is one way to make note of many of these new databases and resources.
That said, here is a great comparison of a large number of immune databases. They have gathered a list of over 40 databases of immunological interest. I was directed to by this “researchblogging” post at Mystery Rays from Outer Space (love the name, love researchblogging).
If you are in need of immunological data, check out the paper.
