PhenomicDB is a free phenotype
oriented database
. It contains data for some of the main model organisms such as Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Drosophila melanogaster, and others. PhenomicDB merges and structures phenotypic data from various public sources: WormBase
, FlyBase
, NCBI Gene
, MGI
, and ZFIN using clustering algorithms.
