Mollusca is the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all named marine organisms, Mollusca systematics are still in flux, and an increase in human activities has affected Molluscan reproduction and development, strongly impacting diversity and classification. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the mitochondrial genome of Mollusca. The Mollusca mitochondrial database (MODB) was established for the Life and Health Big Data Center of Yantai University. This database is dedicated to collecting, sorting and sharing basic information regarding mollusks, especially their mitochondrial genome information. We also integrated a series of analysis and visualization tools, such as BLAST, MUSCLE, GENEWISE and LASTZ. In particular, a phylogenetic tree was implemented in this database to visualize the evolutionary relationships between species. The original version contains 616 species whose mitochondrial genomes have been sequenced. The database provides comprehensive information and analysis platform for researchers interested in understanding the biological characteristics of mollusks. Database URL: http://modb.ytu.edu.cn/

MODB：软体动物的综合线粒体基因组数据库

软体动物是最大的海洋门，约占所有命名海洋生物的 23%，软体动物系统学仍在不断变化，人类活动的增加影响了软体动物的繁殖和发育，极大地影响了多样性和分类。因此，有必要对软体动物的线粒体基因组进行探索。为烟台大学生命健康大数据中心建立软体动物线粒体数据库（MODB）。该数据库致力于收集、分类和共享有关软体动物的基本信息，尤其是它们的线粒体基因组信息。我们还集成了一系列分析和可视化工具，例如 BLAST、MUSCLE、GENEWISE 和 LASTZ。特别是，在该数据库中实施了系统发育树，以可视化物种之间的进化关系。原始版本包含 616 个物种，其线粒体基因组已被测序。该数据库为有兴趣了解软体动物生物学特性的研究人员提供了全面的信息和分析平台。数据库网址：http://modb.ytu.edu.cn/
