Types of Biological Databases | Primary, Secondary & Specialized Explained with Examples
Biological databases are the backbone of bioinformatics — but not all databases are the same! In this video, we’ll explore the three main types of biological databases:
🔹 Primary Databases – raw sequence data like GenBank
🔹 Secondary Databases – processed, curated data like UniProt
🔹 Specialized Databases – focused on specific organisms or diseases
By the end, you’ll clearly understand how scientists organize DNA, RNA, and protein data, and why these databases are essential for research.
📌 Watch till the end to see examples like GenBank, UniProt, and PDB!
