The Belgium Biodiversity Platform hosts this data repository on behalf of GBIF Mauritania (MrBIF) in collaboration with the GBIF Secretariat, built using an installation of the GBIF Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT). More specifically, MrBIF aims to promote, coordinate and facilitate data sharing and dissemination; undertake surveys of potential biodiversity data publishers and data users; promote publication and use of biodiversity data; formulate and implement policies on biodiversity conservation; train young scientists and decisions makers; and acquire IT materials, stable Internet access and reliable power supply.

BCCM/LMG is a bacterial culture collection currently comprising over 25.000 well-characterized strains. The biological origin of our collection is very broad, including bacterial isolates from food, clinical, veterinary, agricultural, aquatic and other environmental sources. This way, the biological resources of BCCM/LMG may serve the needs of various R&D sectors, including green, red, blue and white biotechnology.

WOVOdat is a comprehensive global database on volcanic unrest aimed at understanding pre-eruptive processes and improving eruption forecasts. WOVOdat is brought to you by WOVO (World Organization of Volcano Observatories) and presently hosted at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.

Disbiome is a database covering microbial composition changes in different kinds of diseases. Disease names, detection methods or organism names can be used as search queries giving that return information related to the experiment (related disease/bacteria, abundancy subject/control, control type, detection method and related literature).

EV-TRACK centralizes extracellular vesicle (EV) biology and methodology to encourage authors, reviewers, editors and funders to put experimental guidelines into practice. It implements a bottom-up community consensus approach and encourages researchers to upload published and unpublished experiments and provide feedback. It is a unique resource that was developed to (i) create an informed dialogue among researchers about relevant experimental parameters, (ii) improve the rigour and interpretation of experiments studying EVs, and (iii) record the evolution of EV research.

Detection of functional divergence in human protein families. Cube-DB is a database of pre-evaluated conservation and specialization scores for residues in paralogous proteins belonging to multi-member families of human proteins. Protein family classification follows (largely) the classification suggested by HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee. Sets of orthologous protein sequences were generated by mutual-best-hit strategy using full vertebrate genomes available in Ensembl. The scores, described on documentation page, are assigned to each individual residue in a protein, and presented in the form of a table (html or downloadable xls formats) and mapped, when appropriate, onto the related structure (Jmol, Pymol, Chimera).

The BCCM/GeneCorner Plasmid Collection warrants the long-term storage and distribution of plasmids, microbial host strains and DNA libraries of fundamental, biotechnological, educational or general scientific importance. The focus is on the collection of recombinant plasmids that can replicate in a microbial host strain. BCCM/GeneCorner also accepts natural and genetically modified animal or human cell lines, including hybridomas, as well as other genetic material, in the safe deposit and patent deposit collections.
