10.1.3 GenBank sequence database
10.1.3 GenBank sequence database
The GenBank sequence database is an open access , annotated collection of all publicly available nucleotide sequences and their protein translations.
This database is produced at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) as part of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration , or INSDC .
GenBank and its collaborators receive sequences produced in laboratories throughout the world from more than 100,000 distinct organisms.
GenBank continues to grow at an exponential rate , doubling every 18 months. GenBank is built by direct submissions from individual laboratories, as well as from bulk submissions from large-scale sequencing centers.
Submissions
-
Upon receipt of a sequence submission, the GenBank staff assigns an accession number to the sequence and performs quality assurance checks.
-
Bulk submissions of Expressed Sequence Tag (EST), Sequence-tagged site (STS), Genome Survey Sequence (GSS), and High-Throughput Genome Sequence (HTGS) data are most often submitted by large-scale sequencing centers.
-
The GenBank direct submissions group also processes complete microbial genome sequences.
