A knowledge resource for lipids and their biology
SwissLipids is a comprehensive, open-access database and resource for lipidomics researchers. It provides expertly curated information on lipids with supporting evidence, and offers a collection of over 500,000 lipid structures, both identified and programmatically generated based on curation. These structures are organized in a hierarchical classification, allowing researchers to link lipid analytes to their metabolic pathways and associated enzymes. The platform is designed to help scientists interpret their experimental data in the context of existing biological knowledge, making it a valuable tool for lipid research and analysis.
