There is a subset of bioNumbers that can be thought of as the “model organisms” of numbers. We will try to engage the community in an effort to define this subset and think of how to disseminate the knowledge of these precious values. | There is a subset of bioNumbers that can be thought of as the “model organisms” of numbers.

High throughput data on mRNA levels, life times, protein-protein interactions or similar properties are better stored in a database of their own that we can happily point to with a pointer bioNumber, e.g ([http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/bionumber.aspx?s=y&id=102726&ver=1 | High throughput data on mRNA levels, life times, protein-protein interactions or similar properties are better stored in a database of their own that we can happily point to with a pointer bioNumber, e.g Plant DNA C-values Database ([http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/bionumber.aspx?s=y&id=102726&ver=1 BNID 102726]). In this way bioNumbers serves as a portal to other databases and high throughput data repositories. | ||
In properties where the value is known for many organisms (say number of chromosomes), we are interested in the values for the model organisms and the extreme cases that teach about the limits (say largest number of chromosomes in any animal). | In properties where the value is known for many organisms (say number of chromosomes), we are interested in the values for the model organisms and the extreme cases that teach about the limits (say largest number of chromosomes in any animal). | ||
