Merged summary

TL;DR - This Nature commentary argues that biological databases should be funded and maintained as durable research infrastructure rather than temporary projects. Only the title and publication metadata are provided, so specific recommendations are unavailable.

  • Biological databases are framed as long-term infrastructure essential to research.
  • Project-based funding and governance are implicitly presented as inadequate for sustained operation.
  • Stable maintenance is especially relevant to data-intensive biology and bioinformatics.
