About hmdb-database
The hmdb-database skill provides access to the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB), a comprehensive resource that contains detailed information about over 220,000 small molecule metabolites found in the human body. This skill addresses the need for researchers in the fields of metabolomics, clinical chemistry, and biomarker discovery to access a wealth of data that can aid in metabolite identification and analysis. By centralizing vast amounts of metabolite information, HMDB serves as an essential tool for scientists aiming to understand metabolic processes and their implications in health and disease.
FAQ
How can I search for metabolites in the HMDB?
You can perform text searches by metabolite name, synonym, or identifier (HMDB ID), as well as structure-based searches using ChemQuery, and spectral searches for metabolite identification.
What formats are available for downloading datasets?
HMDB offers bulk data downloads in multiple formats including XML, SDF, FASTA, TXT, and CSV/TSV.
Is there a cost associated with using HMDB data?
The HMDB is free for academic and non-commercial research. Commercial use requires explicit permission.
What types of biological specimens can I query?
You can query metabolites based on various biological specimen types including urine, serum, CSF, saliva, feces, and sweat.
How often is the HMDB updated?
The current version is HMDB 5.0, which was last updated on July 1, 2023.
