Informations about Sequence Databases
General databases
Nucleotide sequence databases:
nt: nucleotide sequence database, with entries from all traditional divisions of GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ excluding bulk divisions (gss, sts, pat, est, and htg divisions. wgs entries are also excluded. Not non-redundant.
est: EST division of GenBank, EMBL,and DDBJ
gss: GSS division of GenBank, EMBL,and DDBJ
htgs: HTG division of GenBank, EMBL,and DDBJ
env_nt Enviromental samples
Protein sequence databases:
nr:
non-redundant protein sequence database with entries from GenPept, Swissprot, PIR, PDF, PDB, and NCBI RefSeq
env_nr: Enviromental samples
Specialized Databases
All specialized databases are subset of the general nt,est,gss,htgs, and nr databases.
