ObjectiveDomestic research institutions and researchers have established a wide variety of animal disease models and accumulated a wealth of specialized, distinctive, and targeted atlas data during the model development process. These atlas data are of great value for development and application. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a professional and complete digital atlas database platform for animal models, which can achieve the open sharing of animal model atlas data and the integration and optimization of atlas resources related to disease animal models held by relevant domestic institutions.MethodsBased on the B/S architecture, the authors' institution built a digital atlas database of animal models, using Java as the main development language and Oracle database system along with related auxiliary tools. The database platform ran in a Linux environment and could be accessed by users through a web browser. At present, the data on this platform mainly came from the atlas resources submitted by animal model resource units within Guangdong Province.ResultsIn August 2024, a digital atlas database platform for animal models was constructed based on the classification structure of three dimensions: systemic diseases, animal species, and resource units. This platform provided functions such as collection, management, retrieval, and viewing of atlas data. As of January 2025, four resource units had submitted 61 atlas data entries of animal models to the platform, totalling 610 data items.ConclusionThe animal model digital atlas database platform has been constructed and put into preliminary use. Although the amount of data on the platform is still limited, it is capable of integrating and openly sharing animal model atlas data. It is believed that with the continuous enrichment of atlas data in the future, this platform is expected to provide important data support for the development of laboratory animal science and comparative medicine research, thereby promoting the efficient utilization of scientific research resources.
