Abstract
Increasing scientific information promote scientists to collect scattered data, put them together and organize them, and make them accessible with the best usability. These data include identification, characterization, habitats and biogeographical distribution, as well as their genomic information. Much of such data are now integrated so as to be accessible for scientists as databases, which are enormously useful to study marine biology. Here we describe some biographic databases and genome/transcriptome databases that are commonly accessed by scientists.
