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 database of Biofilm-active antimicrobial peptides is described as the first database dedicated to antimicrobial peptides tested specifically against microbial biofilms. It aims to provide open-access resources on AMPs against biofilms for microbiologists, bioinformatics researchers and medical scientists working in the field.
Browse research datasets and datasets related to biology.
BioGPS is a free, extensible and customizable gene annotation portal described as a complete resource for learning about gene and protein function. Users search for a gene, view its annotation report, browse gene report layouts, and build their own layouts. The site lists statistics for custom layouts and offers plugins and datasets, along with downloads, an API and an iPhone app.
BioGRID is an online interaction repository of curated protein, genetic and chemical interaction data from major model organism species. It offers a search index and downloadable data in standardized formats. The index also includes post-translational modifications and publications.
Research data portal for exploring basic in biology and medicine records, including datasets.
BioGRID ORCS is an open repository of CRISPR screens compiled through curation efforts. Its search index covers publications, genes, screens from major model organism species, cell lines and cell types. Screen data are provided through the search index and available for download in standardized formats, and the data can also be accessed via a REST web service.
BioImages is a personal photographic guide to the biodiversity of Britain and Ireland. Users can search the site through Google or browse a taxonomic hierarchy from biota down to species. It covers most major organism groups except birds and other vertebrates, with images showing multiple angles, life stages and diagnostic features. Images are hosted by DiscoverLife and are intended as visual support for identification.
BioLINCC is a clinical specimen database operated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. It allows users to search for study datasets and biospecimens, including open specimen collections, and to submit requests for them. Accounts are required to request resources, and users must verify their identity through Login.gov or ID.me depending on location.
The BCO-DMO resource catalog provides free and open access to publicly funded research products in the field of biological and chemical oceanography. It is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
BioCASe is a transnational network of primary biodiversity repositories. It links specimen data from natural history collections, botanical and zoological gardens and research institutions worldwide with observation databases. The aim is to make biodiversity data freely accessible on the Internet through data portals and web services.
BMRB is a data bank that collects, annotates, archives, and disseminates spectral and quantitative data from NMR spectroscopic investigations of biological macromolecules and metabolites. The project states that it makes bio-NMR data FAIR: findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. It covers proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and organics.
BioMemory is a CNR project presenting a map of BioMemory collections. The listed collections are hosted by CNR institutes and cover bioresources such as herbaceous plants, trees, bacteria and DNA, animal blood, milk and tissues, filamentous fungi, plant parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes, plant viruses and viroids, and grapevine varieties and clones. Collection types include field, cryopreserved and seed collections.

Searchable repository for finding basic in biology and medicine datasets and datasets.
BioTIME is a global database of assemblage time series for quantifying and understanding biodiversity change. It is open access and free to anyone, anywhere in the world to use for education, research, and conservation. The project is hosted at the University of St Andrews and offers options to download data, use data, and contribute a dataset.
BioVeL is an evidence-based biodiversity science reference resource. It provides clear coverage of key topics including population ecology, types of biodiversity, 36 global conservation hotspots, threats to wildlife and associated research workflows. The reference includes information on over 8.7 million described species and more than 1 million threatened species.
Find and access engineering research data, with indexed datasets.
Birdata is BirdLife Australia's national bird monitoring program. It invites people to create an account, learn how to do a bird survey and submit sightings. The site states that submitting sightings helps save Australian birds. It also provides live data, featured birds and latest stories, including a post on logging dead, sick or injured birds in Birdata.
Birkbeck Data Repository is a pilot service run by the library that allows researchers at Birkbeck to upload data and obtain a DOI. Data is stored on an Arkivum server, and the repository supports browsing by year, school or person, quick and advanced search, and OAI 2.0.
Birmingham City Council publishes a range of data that can be downloaded and reused under the Open Government Licence. The City Observatory is an open data-sharing platform intended to provide a single source of information about Birmingham and to support collaboration on data. The page also links to data on roads and parking, local land authority and housing stock, and boundaries.
Bitbucket Cloud is a Git-based code and CI/CD tool optimized for teams using Jira. It connects code to Jira and Jira Service Management so teams can move from planning to production with less context switching and fewer handoffs. It offers AI-powered search, chat, code review, pipeline triage, and Jira updates.
The Bjerknes Climate Data Centre (BCDC) is a platform for accessing and submitting climate and Earth system data. It hosts datasets across categories including remote sensing, paleo data, model output, oceanography, and atmospheric science. The centre publishes data highlights, lists partner organizations, and provides access to associated research outputs for its hosted datasets.
