Dataset search tools help you find open data, research collections and public records from many fields. Listings include catalogues, repositories and portals from governments, universities, labs and open projects. Some cover one subject closely, such as genomics, climate or satellite imagery, while others gather datasets across many areas and add filters, previews and download notes. Compare a few side by side and look at the licence, the update date and the file formats offered, since two portals that look alike can carry very different terms. Check whether a catalogue links to the original data or hosts its own copy, because the source usually explains provenance and any limits on reuse.
The Benchmark Energy & Geometry Database collects results of highly accurate quantum mechanical calculations of molecular structures, energies and properties. These data serve as benchmarks for testing and parameterizing other computational methods. Featured datasets include interaction energies and dissociation curves for noncovalent complexes.
The Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project is a consortium of the Drosophila Genome Center that provides genome sequence data, annotations, clones and analysis tools. BDGP will conclude operations on January 1, 2026, and fruitfly.org will be retired soon after; users are directed to self-host the splice-site and promoter prediction tools.
Database of Drosophila embryogenesis gene expression patterns generated with a high-throughput RNA in situ protocol. Expression patterns are documented with digital embryo images, annotated with controlled vocabulary, and stored in a modified Gene Ontology database. The dataset is browsable, searchable, and downloadable.
