TL;DR: This year’s update, DrugBank 5.0, represents the most significant upgrade to the database in more than 10 years and significant improvements have been made to the quantity, quality and consistency of drug indications, drug binding data as well as drug-drug and drug-food interactions.

TL;DR: This year's update to the HMDB, HMDB 4.0, represents the most significant upgrade to the database in its history and should greatly enhance its ease of use and its potential applications in nutrition, biochemistry, clinical chemistry, clinical genetics, medicine, and metabolomics science.

TL;DR: PHASTER (PHAge Search Tool – Enhanced Release) is a significant upgrade to the popular PHAST web server for the rapid identification and annotation of prophage sequences within bacterial genomes and plasmids.

TL;DR: The latest release of the T3DB has been substantially upgraded to include many more compounds, targets and gene expression datasets, and now includes extensive data on ‘normal’ toxic compound concentrations in human biofluids as well as detailed chemical taxonomies, informative chemical ontologies and a large number of referential NMR, MS/MS and GC-MS spectra.

TL;DR: The applications of livestock metabolomics in key areas such as animal health assessment, disease diagnosis, bioproduct characterization and biomarker discovery for highly desirable economic traits are critically assessed.
