Abstract

In the past year, DDBJ (http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp) collected and released 1,956,826 entries or 1,741,313,111 bases. The released data include approximately 90,000 ESTs and cDNAs of Macaca fascicularis, and 280 million bases of mouse GSS. In addition to the data collection, we have indexed the submitted data to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC, http://www.insdc.org) to classify the entries into research projects behind data submissions. They are expected to be useful to the data submitters and users for enhancing the data submission, retrieval and systematic data analyses at INSDC. The results of indexing also allow one to grasp research projects in life sciences that promoted and produced the DNA sequences submitted to INSDC.

Figures

Figure 1
Figure 1
(a) Distribution of research projects for ROD. Upper: x-axis indicates the research projects ranked with respect to the number of entries in them. The number in the parentheses is the total number of projects found. Lower: x-axis indicates the entries ranked with respect to the sequence length. The number in the parentheses is the total number of entries in the divisions. (b) Distribution of research projects for ENV; x-axis is the same as those in ROD. The figures for all 20 divisions are available via the DDBJ home page as mentioned in the text.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Geographic distribution of data submissions in 2000 and 2005. The bar indicates the number of bases submitted to INSDC (Total) as a whole from a particular geographic region. The whole pictures for the latest release are available via the DDBJ home page as mentioned in the text. While you see it on a Windows PC, mouse-over to a bar shows the name of its country or geographic region and the number of bases submitted to it. Similar pictures [INSDC (Individual)] are also available for the three individual banks of INSDC by clicking INSDC (Total).
