Abstract

The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC; http://www.insdc.org/) has been the core infrastructure for collecting and providing nucleotide sequence data and metadata for >30 years. Three partner organizations, the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) at the National Institute of Genetics in Mishima, Japan; the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Hinxton, UK; and GenBank at National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA have been collaboratively maintaining the INSDC for the benefit of not only science but all types of community worldwide.
