When classifying breeds of dogs, the accuracy of classification significantly affects breed identification and dog research. Using images to classify dog breeds can improve classification efficiency; however, it is increasingly challenging due to the diversities and similarities among dog breeds. Traditional image classification methods primarily rely on extracting simple geometric features, while current convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are capable of learning high-level semantic features.

Unlabelled: In medical image retrieval, accurately retrieving relevant images significantly impacts clinical decision making and diagnostics. Traditional image-retrieval systems primarily rely on single-dimensional image data, while current deep-hashing methods are capable of learning complex feature representations. However, retrieval accuracy and efficiency are hindered by diverse modalities and limited sample sizes.

The Resource for Coronavirus 2019 (RCoV19) is an open-access information resource dedicated to providing valuable data on the genomes, mutations, and variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). In this updated implementation of RCoV19, we have made significant improvements and advancements over the previous version. Firstly, we have implemented a highly refined genome data curation model.

However, existing animals' biomarker resources predominantly focus on human diseases, leaving a significant gap in non-human animal disease understanding and breeding research. To address this limitation, we present BioKA (Biomarker Knowledgebase for Animals, https://ngdc.

Here we present Open Biomedical Imaging Archive (OBIA), a repository for archiving biomedical imaging and related clinical data. OBIA adopts five data objects (Collection, Individual, Study, Series, and Image) for data organization, and accepts the submission of biomedical images of multiple modalities, organs, and diseases.

Existing homolog gene resources vary in terms of inferring methods, homologous relationship and identifiers, posing inevitable difficulties for choosing and mapping homology results from one to another. Here, we present HGD (Homologous Gene Database, https://ngdc.

The low-throughput 'omics' technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) and relative drug information have begun to reshaped our understanding of ILDs, whereas, these data are scattered among massive references and are difficult to be fully exploited. Therefore, we manually mined and summarized these data at a database (ILDGDB, http://ildgdb.
