For 35 years the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA; https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena) has been responsible for making the world's public sequencing data available to the scientific community. Advances in sequencing technology have driven exponential growth in the volume of data to be processed and stored and a substantial broadening of the user community. Here, we outline ENA services and content in 2017 and provide insight into a selection of current key areas of development in ENA driven by challenges arising from the above growth.
35 年来,欧洲核苷酸档案库(ENA;https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena)一直负责向科学界提供全球公共测序数据。测序技术的进步推动了待处理和存储的数据量呈指数级增长,用户群体也大幅扩大。在此,我们概述了 2017 年 ENA 的服务和内容,并深入探讨了由上述增长带来的挑战所推动的 ENA 目前一些关键发展领域。
