Get Making The Most Of A Sequence Search Sequence ... - SequenceBase

A sequence is a database object that allows the automatic generation of values, such as check numbers. Sequences are ideally suited to the task of generating unique key values.

There are three main sequence databases: the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) (http://.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/index-e.html), EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database (EMBL-Bank) (http://.ebi.ac.uk/embl/) and GenBank (http://.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/).

Nucleic acid sequences are stored in three primary sequence databases – GenBank, the EMBL nucleotide sequence database, and the DNA Data Bank of Japan – which exchange data every day. These databases also contain protein sequences that have been translated from DNA sequences.

The three main primary databases are GenBank at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the DNA Database of Japan (DDBJ), and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). Other examples of primary databases include Protein Data Bank (PDB), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and ArrayExpress.

To find the gene coding sequence, look at the Genomic regions, transcripts, and products section or the NCBI Reference Sequences (RefSeq) section of the Gene record: Clicking on the GenBank link displays the GenBank record in the Nucleotide database.
