Abstract

The GenBank sequence database has undergone an expansion in data coverage, annotation content and the development of new services for the scientific community. In addition to nucleotide sequences, data from the major protein sequence and structural databases, and from U.S. and European patents is now included in an integrated system. MEDLINE abstracts from published articles describing the sequences provide an important new source of biological annotation for sequence entries. In addition to the continued support of existing services, new CD-ROM and network-based systems have been implemented for literature retrieval and sequence similarity searching. Major releases of GenBank are now more frequent and the data are distributed in several new forms for both end users and software developers.
