- YPD: The complete yeast proteome (protein reports for all known Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins)
- PombePD, MycopathPD: Proteomes of Schizosaccharomyces pombe and of pathological fungi
- WormPD: The proteome of Caenorhabditis elegans
- HumanPSD: The proteomes of human, mouse and rat
- GPCR-PD: G-protein coupled receptor reports
In addition, BIOBASE has developed the ExPlain system for the biological interpretation of gene expression and proteomics data by integrated functional, promoter and pathway analysis.
The "Gene Regulation Portal" offers a number of earlier revisions of company products free of charge to users from non-profit organizations.
A number of third-party products are also distributed by BIOBASE:
- S/MARt DB: Scaffold/matrix attached regions (HZI Braunschweig)
- BRENDA: The BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase (Technical University Braunschweig/enzymeta)
- HGMD: The Human Gene Mutation Database (Cardiff University)
- CI: Cell Illustrator for pathway simulations (Tokyo University/GNI, Tokyo)
In addition to these products, BIOBASE offers Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) services. These may comprise the development and population of customized databases with specific contents, or systematic analyses of gene expression data.

Famous quotes containing the words products and/or services:
“All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land, and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet, from seaweed to a sailor’s yarn, or a fish story. In this element the animal and vegetable kingdoms meet and are strangely mingled.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
