- PathoDB: Pathologically relevant mutations in transcription factors and their binding sites
- TRANSPATH: Signal transduction and metabolic pathways in mammalian species
- 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:
“But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
