title: 'biodb: Biodb, a Library and a Development Framework for Connecting to Chemical
  and Biological Databases'
version: 1.20.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.biodb
abstract: The biodb package provides access to standard remote chemical and biological
  databases (ChEBI, KEGG, HMDB, ...), as well as to in-house local database files
  (CSV, SQLite), with easy retrieval of entries, access to web services, search of
  compounds by mass and/or name, and mass spectra matching for LCMS and MSMS. Its
  architecture as a development framework facilitates the development of new database
  connectors for local projects or inside separate published packages.
