(i) GDB (Genome Database): It is the official central repository for genome mapping data created by Human Genome Project. Its central node is located at the hospital for sick children. GDB holds a vast quantity of data submitted by hundreds of investigators. The GDB has many useful genome resource web-links on its resource page. 

MGD (Mouse Genome Database) is the primary public mouse genomic catalogue resource. The MGD includes information on mouse genetic markers and nomenclature, molecular segments, phenotypes, comparative mapping data, graphical display of linkage, cytogenetic and physical maps. 

(ii) PDB (Protein Data Bank) : This database has the sequence of those proteins, nucleic acid, whose 3-D structures are known by crystallography or NMR spectroscopy. 

Source : NCBI-USA; EBI, UK. 

PIR (Protein Information Resource): It is an integrated public bioinformatics resource to support genomic, proteomic and system biology, research and scientific studies.
