| Résumé | The World Wide Web has changed the way people shop, communicate, and learn. It also has fundamentally changed the way information is shared. The Web has had a particularly profound effect in the life sciences, in which the rapid compilation and exchange of large volumes of information increasingly is becoming the norm. Hundreds of online databases containing tens of gigabytes of biochemical or genetic data, along with hundreds of online tutorials covering thousands of biomedical subjects, are now available on the Web. These information-rich Web resources are becoming integral to many aspects of modern biology and biomedical research. This chapter reviews some of the key online database that are dedicated to explaining or displaying up-to-date information on metabolism, metabolic pathways, and metabolic diseases, including (1) metabolic pathway databases, (2) metabolomic databases, (3) genetic and metabolic disease databases, (4) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and mutation databases, and (5) sequence databases. |
