DDBJ: Nucleotide Sequence Database

DDBJ; DNA Data Bank of Japan is the sole nucleotide sequence data bank in Asia, which is officially certified to collect nucleotide sequences from researchers and to issue the internationally recognized accession number to data submitters. DDBJ exchange the collected data with EMBL-Bank/EBI; European Bioinformatics Institute and GenBank/NCBI; National Center for Biotechnology Information on a daily basis, the three data banks share virtually the same data at any given time. The virtually unified database is called "INSD; International Nucleotide Sequence Database". DDBJ collects sequence data mainly from Japanese researchers, but of course accepts data and issue the accession number to researchers in any other countries.


Nucleotide database can be searched by:

Getentry: Data retrieval by accession numbers, etc.
ARSA: All-round Retrieval of Sequence and Annotation.
TXSearch: Retrieval of unified taxonomy databas.
BLAST: Homology Search.
DDBJ Vector Screening System
