Bioinformatics instructors and graduate students
Preparing a lecture or presentation on molecular biology database resources and their classification.
The Nucleic Acids Research Database (NAR) mind map template provides a structured overview of the 2016 NAR database issue, covering 1,685 molecular biology databases with 88 new resources and 23 removed obsolete sites. It explores why databases are created and shared, their organization into major groupings such as 'Nucleic acid sequence and structure' and 'Human diseases and drugs', and criteria for selection including 'General utility' and 'Free accessible'. The template also addresses why databases are dropped, citing reasons like 'Non-responsive' or 'Obsolete in entries'. This NAR cheat sheet is ideal for researchers, bioinformaticians, and students who need a concise reference for database classification and curation principles.

Save your finalized NAR cheat sheet as an image, PDF, or Markdown file to share with colleagues or include in presentations.
The template covers the 2016 NAR database issue, including 1,685 databases organized into groups like nucleic acid sequence, protein sequence, and human diseases. It also explains selection criteria, reasons for database removal, and references.
Databases are grouped into eight major categories, such as 'Nucleic acid sequence and structure', 'Protein sequence and structure', 'Metabolic and signaling pathways', and 'Human diseases and drugs', each with specific database examples.
Criteria include general utility to the scientific community, comprehensiveness of coverage, degree of value added, ability to refine research scope, and free accessibility.
Databases are removed if they become non-responsive, obsolete in entries, no longer contain effective or valid data, or if similar content is available in other databases.
Yes, you can edit the template in Xmind by adding your own databases, updating numbers, or modifying categories to reflect later NAR issues or your own research focus.
The template is available for free on Xmind's template marketplace and can be exported as an image or PDF for printing or sharing.
