The Library can be found by linking on the Green "library' link at the top of every page.Studiot said:Could someone explain where/what is this library please?
Pythagorean said:I'm not the most expert tease either, but I think each definition should really be a community effort anyway. Especially the core definitions.
My (our!) first contributions should be a description of abiogenesis and a small discussion on the meaning of life.
We already have threads with expert responses in them on these subjects, it only a matter of synthesis.

Pranav-Arora said:A side question here:-
Is it possible to see all the contents of PF library? Whenever i visit PF library, it only shows the top viewed, recent additions and top contributors. If it could have been possible to see all the contents of PF library.

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms and their interactions with their environment. It helps us understand the complex processes of life and how living organisms function. It is important because it allows us to understand and improve our own health, the health of our planet, and the relationships between different species.
A database in biology is a collection of organized and structured information related to biological data. This can include genetic information, research findings, and other data sets that can be used for analysis and research purposes.
There are various types of databases used in biology, including sequence databases, which contain genetic information such as DNA and protein sequences; taxonomy databases, which organize information about different species and their classification; and literature databases, which contain published research articles and other literature related to biology.
Databases in biology are created and maintained by teams of scientists, researchers, and database curators. They collect, organize, and verify the data before making it available to the public. They also continuously update and maintain the databases to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information.
Many databases in biology are available for free online and can be accessed through various platforms, such as the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). To use these databases for research, you can search for specific data sets or information using keywords or filters, and then analyze the data using various tools and software programs.
