description: 'The [Global Biodata Coalition](https://globalbiodata.org) released a
  [curated list](https://globalbiodata.org/scientific-activities/global-core-biodata-resources/)
  of 37 life sciences databases in December 2022 that they consider as having significant
  importance (see criteria [here](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5845116)). While
  it''s not a primary goal of the Bioregistry to cover life science databases (other
  resources like Wikidata and [FAIRsharing](https://fairsharing.org) already do an
  excellent job of this), many notable databases induce one or more semantic spaces
  that are relevant for curation and prefix assignment in the Bioregistry. Therefore,
  a large number of the resources in this list correspond 1-to-1 with prefixes in
  the Bioregistry, a small number (e.g., Orphanet, CIViC, PharmGKB) correspond to
  multiple prefixes, some have a complicated relationship with many-to-1 relationships
  to prefixes (DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive), and some constitute
  databases that simply reuse other key vocabularies (e.g., STRING reuses UniProt,
  GWAS Catalog reuses dbSNP and EFO). Among the databases that don''t induce semantic
  spaces or have simple relationships to prefixes are:


  - [Clinical Genome Resource](https://www.clinicalgenome.org/) (uses HGNC, MONDO,
  PharmGKB, etc.)

  - [DNA Data Bank of Japan](https://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/) (uses INSDC)

  - [GENCODE](https://www.gencodegenes.org/) (uses GenBank)

  - [GWAS Catalog](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/) (uses dbSNP, EFO, etc)

  - [STRING](https://string-db.org/) (uses UniProt)'
