title: The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database. Contributing and accessing data.
abstract: The European Molecular Biology Laboratory Nucleotide Sequence Database receives sequence and sequence annotation data from genome projects, sequencing centers, individual scientists, and patent offices. Data may be most efficiently submitted to the database using the Internet based submission tool WEBIN or via previously established genome project accounts. Biologist curators will review the data and provide accession numbers within two working days. Non-confidential data are exchanged daily in an international collaboration between EMBL. DDBJ (the DNA Databank of Japan) and GenBank (USA) and may be accessed and retrieved via the Internet with the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS). Sequence database searching algorithms (e.g., Blitz, Fasta, Blast) are available for comparison of query to database sequences.
