Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN)

    The Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) is an online portal for information about agricultural genetic resources that are managed by the Agricultural Research Service of USDA, along with U.S. partnering organizations.

    Data from: United States wildlife and wildlife product imports from 2000–2014

      Data are presented on 15 years of the importation of wildlife and their derived products into the United States (2000–2014), originally collected by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. These data include >2 million wildlife or wildlife product shipments, representing >60 biological classes and >3.2 billion live organisms. The data were curated and cleaned, and taxonomic information added to improve usability.

      Data from: Exercise plasma metabolomics and xenometabolomics in obese, sedentary, insulin-resistant women: impact of a fitness and weight loss intervention

        Plasma metabolite patterns were determined during exercise and recovery in overnight-fasted sedentary, obese, insulin resistant women under controlled conditions of diet and physical activity to test the hypothesisis that improved fitness and insulin sensitivity following a ~14 wk training and weight loss intervention would lead to fixed workload plasma metabolomics signatures reflective of metabolic health and muscle metabolism. Supporting Materials include graphs of blood patterns of metabolites in adult women during a sub-maximal exercise bout and recovery period, and primary data in spreadsheet format on model performance, exercise and recovery, and correlation statistics for metabolites.

        AgBase

          [AgBase](https://agbase.arizona.edu/index.html) Version 2.0 is a curated, open-source, Web-accessible resource for functional analysis of agricultural plant and animal gene products including gene ontology annotations. Its long-term goal is to serve the needs of the agricultural research communities by facilitating post-genome biology for agriculture researchers and for those researchers primarily using agricultural species as biomedical models. AgBase uses controlled vocabularies developed by the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium to describe molecular function, biological process, and cellular component for genes and gene products in agricultural species.

          ComBase: A Web Resource for Quantitative and Predictive Food Microbiology

            ComBase includes a systematically formatted database of quantified microbial responses to the food environment with more than 65,000 records, and is used for: * Informing the design of food safety risk management plans * Producing Food Safety Plans and HACCP plans * Reducing food waste * Assessing microbiological risk in foods

            The GRIN-Global Project

              GRIN-Global is an ongoing international collaborative project to develop shared and open-source applications that help manage plant germplasm collections.

              ARS Microbial Genomic Sequence Database Server

                This database server is supported in fulfilment of the research mission of the Mycotoxin Prevention and Applied Microbiology Research Unit at the National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research in Peoria, Illinois. The linked website provides access to gene sequence databases for various groups of microorganisms, such as Streptomyces species or Aspergillus species and their relatives, that are the product of ARS research programs. The sequence databases are organized in the BIGSdb (Bacterial Isolate Genomic Sequence Database) software package developed by Keith Jolley and Martin Maiden at Oxford University.
