Refseq -- a curated non-redundant sequence database of genomes, transcripts and proteins
What you can do:
Retrieve curated, non-redundant reference mRNA sequences from NCBI.
Highlights:
- NCBI's Reference Sequence (RefSeq) database is a curated non-redundant collection of sequences representing genomes, transcripts and proteins.
- RefSeq records integrate information from multiple sources and represent a current description of the sequence, the gene and sequence features.
- The database includes over 5300 organisms spanning prokaryotes, eukaryotes and viruses, with records for more than 5.5 x 10(6) proteins (RefSeq release 30).
- Feature annotation is applied by a combination of curation, collaboration, propagation from other sources and computation.
- In the latest release, RefSeqGene, a new initiative to support reporting variation data on a stable genomic coordinate system, was added.
