    DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) () newly collected and released 12 927 184 entries or 13 787 688 598 bases in the period from July 2005 to June 2006. The released data contain honeybee expressed sequence tags (ESTs), re-examined and re-annotated complete genome data of Escherichia coli K-12 W3110, medaka WGS and human MGA. We also systematically evaluated and classified the genes in the complete bacterial genomes submitted to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC, ) that is composed of DDBJ, EMBL Bank and GenBank. The examination and classification selected 557 000 genes as reliable ones among all the bacterial genes predicted by us

    DDBJ Activities: Contribution to the Research in Information Biology

    DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan; "http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/":http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/)started its database activities in 1986. From the beginning, DDBJ has been one of INSDC (International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration; "http://www.insdc.org/":http://www.insdc.org/) that is a tripartite collaboration with EMBL-Bank/EBI and GenBank/NCBI.The total base number of the primary nucleotide sequence data collected and distributed by INSDC exceeded 100 Gbases in August 2005. Since then it took only three years for the total base number to be doubled (200 Gbases). Now, the collaboration is being expanded to Traces (DNA sequence chromatograms) and Short Reads (raw reads data from 454, Solexa, SOLiD etc). DDBJ is also collecting and releasing gene expression data at CIBEX (Center for Information Biology gene EXpression database; "http://cibex.nig.ac.jp/":http://cibex.nig.ac.jp/). Furthermore, DDBJ contributed to international annotation jamborees such as FANTOM (mouse), H-Inv (human), RAP (rice) and E. coli K12. DDBJ provides many services to the research in information biology or bioinformatics. They include Web-API for Biology (WABI) "http://www.xml.nig.ac.jp/":http://www.xml.nig.ac.jp/ and All-round Retrieval of Sequence and Annotation (ARSA) "http://arsa.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/":http://arsa.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/. These activities are presented with the perspective of DDBJ in the coming years

    Archiving next generation sequencing data

    Next generation sequencing platforms are producing biological sequencing data in unprecedented amounts. The partners of the International Nucleotide Sequencing Database Collaboration, which includes the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI), and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), have established the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) to provide the scientific community with an archival destination for next generation data sets. The SRA is now accessible at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/sra from NCBI, at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena from EBI and at http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/sub/trace_sra-e.html from DDBJ. Users of these resources can obtain data sets deposited in any of the three SRA instances. Links and submission instructions are provided

    GenBank

    GenBank (R) is a comprehensive database that contains publicly available nucleotide sequences for more than 240 000 named organisms, obtained primarily through submissions from individual laboratories and batch submissions from large-scale sequencing 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 EMBL Data Library in Europe and the DNA Data Bank of Japan ensures worldwide coverage. GenBank is accessible through NCBI's retrieval system, Entrez, which 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.

    DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) (http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp) collected and released 2 368 110 entries or 1 415 106 598 bases in the period from July 2007 to June 2008. The releases in this period include genome scale data of Bombyx mori, Oryzas latipes, Drosophila and Lotus japonicus. In addition, from this year we collected and released trace archive data in collaboration with National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The first release contains those of O. latipes and bacterial meta genomes in human gut. To cope with the current progress of sequencing technology, we also accepted and released more than 100 million of short reads of parasitic protozoa and their hosts that were produced by using a Solexa sequencer

    Genome Information Broker for Viruses (GIB-V): database for comparative analysis of virus genomes

    Get PDF
    Genome Information Broker for Viruses (GIB-V) is a comprehensive virus genome/segment database. We extracted 18 418 complete virus genomes/segments from the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC, ) by DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), EMBL and GenBank and stored them in our system. The list of registered viruses is arranged hierarchically according to taxonomy. Keyword searches can be performed for genome/segment data or biological features of any virus stored in GIB-V. GIB-V is equipped with a BLAST search function, and search results are displayed graphically or in list form. Moreover, the BLAST results can be used online with the ClustalW feature of the DDBJ. All available virus genome/segment data can be collected by the GIB-V download function. GIB-V can be accessed at no charge at
