About us
AlgaeDB is an online algal omics database designed to facilitate the sharing of algal omics data and functional annotations. We aim to provide
a freely available, easy-to-use centralised resource of red algal omics data. This resource aims to host and share publicly accessible red algal genomics and transcriptomes data
along with functional annotations, and a mechanism to search and compare those annotations between organisms.

Please see the licensing terms for individual data sources.
Do you sequence your own data?
The data currently stored on AlgaeDB has all been sequenced by other research projects and published in a publicly available database.
Do you have non-red algae in AlgaeDB?
There is currently a small selection of non-Rhodophyte algae in AlgaeDB. AlgaeDB is primarily focused on red algae, but the occasional non-red algae
may be included if it is particularly relevant.
I want to share some data on AlgaeDB.
We are open to including more data from different sources. Please contact us if you wish to include data on AlgaeDB.
Some of my data has been included and I want it removed.
