AI Article Synopsis
- The DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) has been offering public nucleotide sequence data services for 30 years and collaborates with international databases like NCBI and EBI.
- The DDBJ also manages the Japanese Genotype-phenotype Archive (JGA), collecting human-subject data from local researchers.
- Recent updates include improvements in retrieval and analytical services using a supercomputer, and enhancements in semantic web technologies for better integration and sharing of biological data.
Article Abstract
The DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) (http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp) has been providing public data services for thirty years (since 1987). We are collecting nucleotide sequence data from researchers as a member of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC, http://www.insdc.org), in collaboration with the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). The DDBJ Center also services Japanese Genotype-phenotype Archive (JGA), with the National Bioscience Database Center to collect human-subjected data from Japanese researchers. Here, we report our database activities for INSDC and JGA over the past year, and introduce retrieval and analytical services running on our supercomputer system and their recent modifications. Furthermore, with the Database Center for Life Science, the DDBJ Center improves semantic web technologies to integrate and to share biological data, for providing the RDF version of the sequence data.
