European Nucleotide Archive
The European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is a comprehensive database that stores nucleotide sequence data from various organisms. It is part of the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and provides access to raw sequencing data, assembled sequences, and annotations. Researchers can submit their data to the ENA, ensuring that it is publicly available for further analysis and study.
The ENA supports various data formats and is integrated with other databases, such as the GenBank and the DNA Data Bank of Japan. This integration facilitates the sharing of genomic information, promoting collaboration and advancements in fields like genomics, molecular biology, and bioinformatics.
