DATABASES
1. Assembly
Assembly database is needed to provide a systematic organization of genome. To accomplish that, the genome is fragmented into small pieces and is sequenced for many times to try to recreate the set of chromosome sequences. This database provides a unique tracker in form of accession so that users can identify changes to an assembly in precise locations whenever needed. There are two different types of assembly updates which are major release and minor release.
2. Bioproject
A BioProject is a set of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization. It provides way to access data across multiple resources and multiple submission time points including taxonomy diversity, from humans and animals, to plants, to prokaryotes and …show more content…
Biosample
A Biosample database stores descriptive information, or metadata, about the biological materials in a more structured manner and searchable. This way the data collected from diverse types of samples from any species can be accessed easily thus, reducing the load of submitter by enabling one-time upload of a sample description as well as referencing that sample as appropriate when making data deposits to other archives. Other than that, this database helps to support cross-database queries and link the sample metadata towards corresponding experimental data in diverse archival databases.
4. BioSystems
The NCBI BioSystems Database provides integrated access to biological systems and their component genes, proteins, and small molecules, as well as literature describing those biosystems and other related data throughout Entrez. This database acts as the centralized storage of data and also assists on database computation regarding biological systems for easier access.
5. Books
Bookshelf provides free online access to books and documents in life science and healthcare. From that, users can browse the titles provided and search the content of particular books.
