The GenBank nucleic acid sequence database is a computer-based collection of all published DNA and RNA sequences; it contains over five million bases in close to six thousand sequence entries drawn from four thousand five hundred published articles. Each sequence is accompanied by relevant biological annotation. The database is available either on magnetic tape, on floppy diskettes, on-line or in hardcopy form. We discuss the structure of the database, the extent of the data and the implications of the database for research on nucleic acids.
GenBank核酸序列数据库是一个基于计算机的所有已发表DNA和RNA序列的集合;它包含了来自4500篇已发表文章的近6000个序列条目中的超过500万个碱基。每个序列都附有相关的生物学注释。该数据库可以通过磁带、软盘、在线或硬拷贝形式获取。我们讨论了数据库的结构、数据范围以及该数据库对核酸研究的影响。
