DbIndAlgae is a free on-line database of marine algae from India. It provides information about the geographical distribution, morphological characteristics and most importantly, sequence data of marine algae collected from different coasts. It is the only database which contains molecular data of the algal species from India. Identification of the species is based on both morphological as well as molecular information. The database also serves as an interface to the herbarium maintained at the Centre for Plant Sciences, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda. So far the database lists 45 marine algal species. Some algal species have been identified for the first time from India, but have already been reported from places other than India, whereas new species are those which have been identified by us for the first time as a part of this study and have never been reported elsewhere.
