Introduction
The MetaDB metadatabase is a sorted, searchable collection of biological databases. Most entries in the metadatabase include a relevant peer-reviewed abstract or excerpt along with a link to the abstract or full text article. Database descriptions surrounded by quotation marks were borrowed from the database websites. Descriptions that include neither quotation marks nor an abstract were written by MetaDB's director, Shawn Thomas. Many of the category names included in MetaDB were borrowed from the NAR Molecular Biology Database Collection, which is maintained by Michael Y. Galperin of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
