  With the explosive growth of biological data,there is an increasing number of biological databases that contain a huge variety of data and cover a diverse range of organisms.As this number continues to grow,it makes difficult and time-consuming for researchers to locate a complete range of biological databases that are not only related to a specific research field but also have higher popularity in terms of both data quantity and data quality.To address this issue,here we develop Database Commons (http://databasecommons.org),a web resource that provides easy access to a comprehensive collection of publicly available biological databases incorporating different data types and spanning diverse organisms.It integrates meta-information for all available databases,including URLs,descriptions,updates,history,etc.,and catalogues each database based on its data type,organism,etc.In addition,it allows users to provide reviews for each database by considering data quality & quantity,content organization & presentation,and system accessibility & reliability.Therefore,Database Commons features cataloguing databases under different criteria and incorporating community reviews,thus serving as a valuable resource for effective utilization of all publicly available databases.
