DNA Data Bank of Japan DDBJ

The sequence data is compared to one or more of a proprietary (Microseq) or public (GenBank, http //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Databank, http //www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/ DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ), http //www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/) database for identification. Frequently, only a portion of the gene, such as the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, especially the ITSl region of SSU rDNAl 30>55.56,58,59 variable D2 region of the LSU rDNA,l >53... 

The nucleotide sequences can be retrieved from one of the three IC (International Collaboration) nucleotide sequence repositories/databases GenBank, EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database, and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ). The retrieval can be conducted via accession numbers or keywords. Keynet (http // www.ba.cnr.it/keynet.html) is a tree browsing database of keywords extracted from...

Sequences of the genes/cDNAs can be retrieved from databases on the Internet at various web sites. For example, GeneBank (at the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI) is at http //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Web/Search/index.html. The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence database (through the European Bioinformatic Institute, EBI) can be found at http //www.ebi.ac.uk/queries/queries.html, whilst that of the DNA Data Bank of Japan is at http //www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/. 

DDBJ (Tateno et al, 2002) is the DNA Data Bank of Japan in collaboration with GenBank and EMBL. The database is produced, maintained, and distributed at the National Institute of Genetics. The entry of DDBJ follows the keywords adapted by the GenBank.
