This Category:Bioinformatics databases should be renamed to Biological database(s). These are data collections from biologists and for biologists, not from/for bioinformaticians. The primary article for this category is Biological database. Dongilbert 04:04, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Gene Banks is not a Bioinformatics database subcategory edit
Gene Banks are biological materials repositories, e.g. for plant seeds. These are not Bioinformatics databases, though of course they use computers and store data on their seeds.

- I just made a category for things like gene banks. I named the Category:Biorepositories. I put Biologicial databases as a member of it, because even though the word is "biorepository" I think the intent is "biological information repository", and the animals/plants/specimens are just the media for storing that information. In the same way, the database is storing the information. I feel like the concept of biological databases and biorepositories ought to be linked somehow, and it seemed better to put databases into the biorepository category than vice-versa.

Create Sub-Category 'Biochemistry databases' edit
Hi, i would like to create a sub-category 'Biochemistry databases' to clean up the Biological databases category a little by sorting the databases for biomolecules there, cheers, --Ghilt (talk) 10:02, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
