摘　　要：Biological databases serve as a global fundamental infrastructure for the worldwide scientific community,which dramatically aid the transformation of big data into knowledge discovery and drive significant innovations in a wide range of research fields.Given the rapid data production,biological databases continue to increase in size and importance.To build a catalog of worldwide biological databases,we curate a total of 5825 biological databases from 8931 publications,which are geographically distributed in 72 countries/regions and developed by 1975 institutions(as of September 20,2022).We further devise a z-index,a novel index to characterize the scientific impact of a database,and rank all these biological databases as well as their hosting institutions and countries in terms of citation and z-index.Consequently,we present a series of statistics and trends of worldwide biological databases,yielding a global perspective to better understand their status and impact for life and health sciences.An up-to-date catalog of worldwide biological databases,as well as their curated meta-information and derived statistics,is publicly available at Database Commons(https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/databasecommons/).
