INSDC -- International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration
URL:
What you can do:
Find nucleotide sequences.
Highlights:
- In INSDC, globally comprehensive public domain nucleotide sequence is captured, preserved and presented.
- The partners of this long-standing collaboration work closely together to provide data formats and conventions that enable consistent data submission to their databases and support regular data exchange around the globe.
- Clearly defined policy and governance in relation to free access to data and relationships with journal publishers have positioned INSDC databases as a key provider of the scientific record and a core foundation for the global bioinformatics data infrastructure.
- While growth in sequence data volumes comes no longer as a surprise to INSDC partners, the uptake of next-generation sequencing technology by mainstream science that we have witnessed in recent years brings a step-change to growth, necessarily making a clear mark on INSDC strategy.
