GenBank (R) is a comprehensive database that contains publicly available nucleotide sequences for more than 380 000 organisms named at the genus level or lower, obtained primarily through submissions from individual laboratories and batch submissions from large-scale sequencing projects, including whole genome shotgun (WGS) and environmental sampling projects. Most submissions are made using the web-based BankIt or standalone Sequin programs, and accession numbers are assigned by GenBank staff upon receipt. Daily data exchange with the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) ensures worldwide coverage. GenBank is accessible through the NCBI Entrez retrieval system that integrates data from the major DNA and protein sequence databases along with taxonomy, genome, mapping, protein structure and domain information, and the biomedical journal literature via PubMed. BLAST provides sequence similarity searches of GenBank and other sequence databases. Complete bimonthly releases and daily updates of the GenBank database are available by FTP. To access GenBank and its related retrieval and analysis services, begin at the NCBI Homepage: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.The GenBank sequence database incorporates DNA sequences from all available public sources, primarily through the direct submission of sequence data from authors and from large-scale sequencing projects, Data exchange with the EMBL Data Library and the DNA Data Bank of Japan helps ensure comprehensive coverage, GenBank continues to focus on quality control and annotation while expanding data coverage and retrieval services, An integrated retrieval system, known as Entrez, incorporates data from the major DNA and protein sequence databases, along with genome maps and protein structure information, MEDLINE abstracts from published articles describing the sequences are also included as an additional source of biological annotation, Sequence similarity searching is offered through the BLAST family of programs, All of NCBI's services are offered through the World Wide Web, In addition, there are specialized server/client versions as well as FTP and e-mail sewer access.
