Deanna Church from the National Center for Biotechnology Information speaks at the "Sequencing, Finishing, Analysis in the Future" meeting in Santa Fe, NM on May 28, 2009.

Recent advances in biotechnology and bioinformatics has provided a flood of genomic data and tremendous growth in the number of associated data sets. Sequencing projects now include draft assemblies, complete genomes, comparative genomics, and metagenomics where genetic material is sequenced directly from environmental samples. The NCBI provides integrated systems for data storage, retrieval, and analysis. GenBank, an archival database of DNA sequences, contains consensus sequences assembled...

Guy Cochrane, European Nucleotide Archive, EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute, Welcome Trust Genome Campus The databases of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC, DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank) and of the Trace and Short Read Archive collaborations between the NCBI and the EBI provide free and comprehensive access to nucleotide sequencing information, from raw sequencing machine output through to functional annotation. As well as offering a direct public portal into...
