This page lists open-access metabolomics-related databases. Databases are roughly categorized whether they are a repository for raw/processed metabolomics data, provide reference spectra (experimentally or computationally derived) or principally provide curation/ontology of structures/pathways.

The links provided below are to resources and tools on websites operated by organizations that are not affiliated with The Metabolomics Society. The Metabolomics Society does not control these websites and is not responsible for their contents, and our inclusion of the links does not imply any endorsement.

Metabolomic repositories

MassIVE: a community resource developed by the NIH-funded Center for Computational Mass Spectrometry to promote the global, free exchange of mass spectrometry data.

MetaboLights: an open access repository for storage of metabolomics data. Users are encouraged to upload data from multiple species and techniques.
