A Hubei team has launched the Herbs Multi-Omics Components Database (SHMC), the largest of its kind in central China.
It contains over 20 million entries, integrates information from ancient texts such as Shennong’s Classic of Materia Medica and Compendium of Materia Medica, as well as current authoritative compendiums of traditional Chinese medicine, incorporating multi-omics data encompassing genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics, said Liu.
It systematically catalogs commonly used medicinal resources in central China, compiling a comprehensive collection of species’ natural components and is considered a foundation for developing new TCM drugs and health products.
