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 PR2 reference sequence database began as part of the BioMarks project from previous work in the Plankton Group of the Station Biologique of Roscoff. It aims to provide a reference database of carefully annotated 18S rRNA sequences using nine unique taxonomic fields (from domain to species). At present, it contains over 240,000 sequences. Although it focuses on protists, it also contains sequences from metazoa, fungi and plants as well a limited set of 16S sequences from plastids and bacteria. Several metadata fields are available for many sequences, including geo-localisation, whether it originates from a culture or a natural sample, and host type. The annotation of PR2 is performed by experts in each of the taxonomic groups.

GBIF France hosts this data repository on behalf of GBIF Guinea in collaboration with the GBIF Secretariat, built using an installation of the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT). GBIF-GUINEE is established within the Centre d'Observation de Surveillance et d'Information Environnementales (COSIE) , the signatory of the GBIF Memorandum of Understanding, as a specialized team working on the collection of biodiversity occurrence data from data publishers to enable their publication on the Internet. The node of GBIF-GUINEE is mandated to collect species occurrence data on the national and international level in order to make these available to data users and decision makers. The data collected and disseminated by COSIE enable the generation of statistics to support decision making by authorities, in order to integrate ecological considerations into programmes and plans for the socio-economic development of Guniea. These ecological considerations have the goal of protection of the environment and biological diversity.

Ocean Gene Atlas(OGA) is a webservice to explore the biogeography of marine genes based on sequence similarity with environmental genomics datasets. OGA is currently implemented with the Tara Ocean Microbiome-Reference Gene Catalog database and the Marine Atlas of Tara Ocean Unigenes. Gene abundance estimates are computed for DNA metagenomes from the smallest Tara Oceans size fractions (from 0 to 3 µm, OM-RGC), and for RNA metatranscriptomes from Tara Oceans larger size fractions (0.8 to 2000µm, MATOU). OGA also includes curated Tara Oceans Eukaryotic Metagenome and Single-Cell Assembled Genomes (MAGs and SAGs), metagenomics-based transcriptomes (MGTs) and metagenome-assembled bacterial and archaeal genomes from the polar Arctic Ocean (Arctic MAG+G).

MODOMICS is the first comprehensive database system for biology of RNA modification. It integrates information about the chemical structure of modified nucleosides, their localization in RNA sequences, pathways of their biosynthesis and enzymes that carry out the respective reactions (together with their protein cofactors). Also included are the protein sequences, the structure data (if available), selected references from scientific literature, and links to other databases allowing to obtain comprehensive information about individual modified residues and proteins involved in their biosynthesis.
