title: DDBJ working on evaluation and classification of bacterial genes in INSDC.
abstract: DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) (http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp) newly collected and released 12,927,184 entries or 13,787,688,598 bases in the period from July 2005 to June 2006. The released data contain honeybee expressed sequence tags (ESTs), re-examined and re-annotated complete genome data of Escherichia coli K-12 W3110, medaka WGS and human MGA. We also systematically evaluated and classified the genes in the complete bacterial genomes submitted to the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC, http://insdc.org) that is composed of DDBJ, EMBL Bank and GenBank. The examination and classification selected 557,000 genes as reliable ones among all the bacterial genes predicted by us.
