About IUBio-Archive

IUBio Archive is an online archive of biology data and software, established in 1989 to promote public access to freely available information, primarily in molecular biology and bioinformatics. It offers ways to browse, search and fetch molecular data, software, biology news and documents, along with links to remote information sources.

Listed resources include arthropod genomes with gene annotations, genome maps and BLAST; DroSpeGe's twelve Drosophila species genomes; euGenes for eukaryotic genome information; wFleaBase for Daphnia; a Bio-Mirror of large datasets such as GenBank, EMBL and DDBJ updated daily; a searchable BIOSCI/Bionet newsgroup archive back to 1990; and molecular biology software organized by category and computer system. Pricing information is not provided. A site note says it was archived at Jetstream-cloud.org and Cloud.Google.com in April 2019.
