A database for the assessment of intakes of different flavonoid subclasses was constructed as previously described (24) by using USDA databases for the flavonoid and proanthocyanin contents of foods as primary data sources (25, 26).
In addition to these specific data needs, it is important to take advantage of the NHANES data and database (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes.htm) for assessment of BPA levels and the relationship of those levels and disease outcomes.

Although Fenichel's database (http://www.fenichel.net/pages/Professional/subpages/QT/Tables/pbydrug.htm) and Polak et al. (7) collected hERG assay data from scientific papers and the publicly deposited databases for the assessment of the torsadogenic potency of chemical compounds, there may be no databases accumulating both hERG and APD assay data.
In freshwater systems, there is a lack of sequences in the available nucleotide databases for the assessment of the community composition of cultured and uncultured heterotrophic flagellates [23] [26].
In a typical whole-exome analysis, many of the variants have no available frequency data in public databases for assessment.
Beyond description of long-term patient and allograft outcomes, the future potential for such a research database includes assessment of medical risk factors, non-medical risk factors for various outcomes and quantification of health service utilization (in-patient only) in the entire cohort of Canadian pediatric ESRD patients.
However, for assessments of EU's global environmental impacts, EXIOBASE is a very suitable database.
Nevertheless, by encompassing the young (<18 years) and the old (>80 years), the CopDiff database allows for the assessment of associations through a lifetime for a large primary care population.
