The National BioResource Project (NBRP) is a Japanese project that aims to establish a system for collecting, preserving and providing bioresources for use as experimental materials for life science research. It is promoted by 27 core resource facilities, each concerned with a particular group of organisms, and by one information center. The NBRP database is a product of this project. Thirty databases and an integrated database-retrieval system (BioResource World: BRW) have been created and made available through the NBRP home page (http://www.nbrp.jp). The 30 independent databases have individual features which directly reflect the data maintained by each resource facility. The BRW is designed for users who need to search across several resources without moving from one database to another. BRW provides access to a collection of 4.5-million records on bioresources including wild species, inbred lines, mutants, genetically engineered lines, DNA clones and so on. BRW supports summary browsing, keyword searching, and searching by DNA sequences or gene ontology. The results of searches provide links to online requests for distribution of research materials. A circulation system allows users to submit details of papers published on research conducted using NBRP resources.
日本的国家生物资源项目（NBRP）旨在建立一个系统，用于收集、保存和提供生物资源，作为生命科学研究的实验材料。该项目由 27 个核心资源机构推动，每个机构都关注特定的生物群体，还有一个信息中心。NBRP 数据库是该项目的产物。通过 NBRP 主页（http://www.nbrp.jp）创建了 30 个数据库和一个集成数据库检索系统（BioResource World: BRW）。这 30 个独立数据库具有各自的特点，直接反映了每个资源机构维护的数据。BRW 是为需要在不离开一个数据库的情况下跨多个资源进行搜索的用户设计的。BRW 提供了对包括野生种、近交系、突变体、基因工程系、DNA 克隆等生物资源的 450 万条记录的访问。BRW 支持摘要浏览、关键词搜索以及通过 DNA 序列或基因本体论进行搜索。搜索结果提供了在线请求分发研究材料的链接。一个流通系统允许用户提交使用 NBRP 资源进行研究的论文发表的详细信息。
