This site and accompanying package are a resource for informing you what the latest version of each biological database is. Last updated on 2025-03-23 (revision 945) by runner.
This site also includes Bioschemas annotations, which aims to improve the findability of life sciences resources such as datasets, software, and training materials. These annotations can either appear on the original site, or on a website (like this one) that indexes it or provides additional information. The further information here, for example, is the link to the Bioregistry. The JSON-LD annotation will make it easier for other tools to recognize the content of the table. This includes the Google Dataset finder, besides Bioschemas itself.
Legend: 📥 means the resource reports the date of each release, 📅 means the date of release was inferred based on the date when the latest version was retrieved, 💡 means the date was inferred by the version string.
Adding More Databases
More databases can be added by sending a pull request to biopragmatics/bioversions by following the contribution guidelines.
Databases are added by the following priority (high to low):
- By request or contribution
- Databases useful for the PyOBO project, aiming to convert all biomedical controlled vocabularies into OBO for general reuse
- Databases useful for the Bio2BEL project, aiming to convert all biological databases into the Biological Expression Language for general reuse and Bio2BEL projects
- Databases appearing in the Bioregistry, OLS, OBO Foundry, or MIRIAM
- Databases tweeted by the International Society of Biocuration (@biocurator)
- Databases I’ve seen during project work
- Serendipity!
Database Updates
The database is automatically updated daily thanks to scheduled workflows in GitHub Actions. The workflow’s configuration can be found here and the last run can be seen here. Further, a changelog can be recapitulated from the commits of the GitHub Actions bot.
