You can also use the Fossilworks website portal for extra query and analyzation tools for the PaleoDB.

Genbank is the NIH genetic sequence database where all publicly available genetic sequences can be stored and accessed.

The government's portal to healthcare data. Information includes clinical care provider quality information, nationwide health service provider directories, databases of the latest medical and scientific knowledge, consumer product data, community health performance information, government spending data and more.

The National Library of Medicine's database providing access to datasets from selected NLM resources, including the Database for Disaster Medicine and Public Health, Toxmap (environmental health data), and the Supplement Label Database (DSLD).
You can explore, filter, visualize, and export data in a variety of formats.

Find fossil data. Choose "explore" to narrow by region, era, taxa or authorizer. Choose "download" to access data and select download file format. It has a walkthrough feature that helps you with your selections.

Worldwide repository of information about the 3D structures of large biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids.

Find data in various areas: agriculture, climate, energy and more. Search by keyword, geospatial area or theme.

Global repository for small-molecule organic and metal-organic crystal structures. Contains the results of over half-a-million x-ray and neutron diffraction analyses.

Data on the biological activities of small molecules. Search and download bioassay, compound and substance datasets. Search by names, synonyms or keywords.

Chemical structure database provides access to over 65 million structures from hundreds of data sources. Search by chemical name or structure. User-friendly search and retrieval functions make this a nice site to find, view, and download data.

Open-access collection of crystal structures of organic, inorganic, metal-organic compounds and minerals, excluding biopolymers. Browse data by journal name or date of publication. Advanced and structural formula searches offer more targeted results.
