Introduction
The Information Network Center of Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) is information center for CAS Type Culture Collection, integrated data center for network information system of CAS Biology Specimen Museum, the microbiology sub-center of China Biodiversity Information Center and the Chinese node of International Microbiological Strain Data Network. It devotes itself into the digitalization and network sharing of the microbiological information resource and undertakes the development of the national scientific data sharing platform, the national scientific digital library and the informationization of CAS. Now it has already established a series of microbiological resource databases and the fungi digital specimen museum. By closely integrating bioinformatics platform with microbiological resource data, it has successively developed China Microbiological Resource Information Network, China Biotechnology Information Network, China Bio-mirror Network, China Bio-Grid, and the Avian Flu Information Network, on which the accessible information amounts to over 1TB, making it the largest gateway of microbiology domain. As Chinese sub-center of International Bio-mirror Network, it provides online search service of over 20 world renowned biological databases, including International Nucleotide Sequence Database.
