In the beginning
First paper compilation in 1965 (Atlas of Protein Sequences).
Development of real databanks at the begin-ning of the 80’s: Fast access. Make possible analyses that require a lot of
data:– Codon usage.
– Molecular phylogeny.
General databanks
Nucleotide sequences: EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ.
Protein sequences: Simple translations of coding regions:
– GenPept (from GenBank).
– TrEMBL (from EMBL). Systems containing additional data:
– SWISS-PROT.
– PIR.
EMBL
Created in 1980 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg.
Maintained since 1994 at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) near Cambridge.
Web server:http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl
GenBank
Set up in 1979 at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, US.
Maintained since 1992 at the National Cen-ter for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in Bethesda.
Web server:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/index.html
DDBJ
Active since 1984 at the National Institute of Genetics (NIG) in Mishima, Japan.
Web server:http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp
EMBL / GenBank / DDBJ
The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration : EMBL / GenBank / DDBJ
New sequences are exchanged daily between the three centers :--> the three banks have an identical content.
Data mainly provided by direct submissions from the authors through Internet: Web forms. Email.

Distribution format
The banks are distributed as a set of text files called divisions ( 292 for EMBL).
A division contains sequences related to: A taxon (e.g., bacteria, invertebrates,
mammals). A class of sequences (EST, HTG, GSS).
Within a division, each sequence is called an entry.
Entry structure
Information is introduced in structured fields.
The format differs in its form between EMBL and GenBank/DDBJ …
but not in substance.
ID, AC, SV and DT fields
Contain identifiers and the creation and the last modification dates for the entries.

Errors in databanks
There are a lot of errors in the nucleotide sequence databanks: In annotations:
– Inaccuracies, omissions, and even mistakes.
– Inconsistencies between entries. In the sequences themselves:
– Sequencing errors.
– Cloning vectors inserted.
Redundancy
Another major pro-blem is redundancy.
A lot of entries are partially or entirely duplicated:
20% of vertebrate se-quences in GenBank.
Duplicated entries are often different in their sequence.

Partial and completesequence duplications
Protein sequence databases
Translation of Coding DNA Sequences (CDS) from EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ.
Consultation of publications or patents. Very small number of direct protein sequence
submission by authors. In SwissProt and PIR: additional annotations.
SWISS-PROT
Created by Amos Bairoch in 1986 at the Department of Medical Biochemistry in Geneva.
Maintained by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) and funded by GeneBio, and, very recently, by NIH.
Web server:http://www.expasy.ch/sprot/sprot-top.html
SWISS-PROT characteristics
Almost no redundancy. Cross-references with 60 other databanks. High-quality annotations:
Systematic control by a team of annotators. Help from a set of > 200 volunteer experts.
Embedded in Expasy, a www proteomics server (http://www.expasy.org) .
Annotations
Protein function. Post-translational modifications. Structural or functional domains. Secondary and quaternary structures. Similarities with other proteins. Conflicts between positions for CDS. Disease-related mutations
Associated databanks
TrEMBL, built using only annotated CDS from the EMBL data library.
ENZYME, for the international enzyme nomenclature.
PROSITE, for biologically significant sites, patterns and profiles.
SWISS-2DPAGE, for two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis maps.
PIR
PIR (The Protein Information Resource) was created by Margaret Dayhoff in 1965.
Aims: To provide exhaustive and non-redundant
protein sequence data. To give a classification using taxonomic and
similarity data:entries grouped in super-families, families
and subfamilies.
Data maintenance
Three organisms collect and organize the data introduced in PIR: The National Biomedical Research Foundation
(NBRF) in the United States. The Martinsried Institute for Protein Sequence
(MIPS) in Germany. The Japan International Protein Sequence
Information Database (JIPID) in Japan.
Results
The exhaustivity is not better than what is obtained with SWISS-PROT+TrEMBL.
Still contains redundancy. Less comprehensive annotation. Low number of cross-references. PIR has recently joined forces with EBI and SIB
to establish the UniProt (United Protein Databases), the central resource of protein sequence and function.
Specialized databanks
A lot of specialized databanks have been developed, which are devoted to: Complete genomes. Families of homologous genes. Non-sequence data.
These systems are under the responsibility of curators: Data quality and homogeneity control.
Complete genomes
There is a large number of databanks devoted to specific organisms.
These banks are associated to sequencing or mapping projects.
For some model organisms there are often several concurrent systems.

Sequence Data retrieval
Made mainly through Internet access: With client software (e.g., Entrez, HobacFetch). By remote connections to servers providing on-
line access to the banks (INFOBIOGEN). Using World-Wide Web servers and browsers
Advantages and limitations
Users do not have to cope with the usual databases problems: Storing of large amounts of data. Daily updates. Software upgrades.
Simplicity of use. Net access is sometimes very slow at peak
hours: consider using other servers besides NCBI
The ACNUC retrieval system
Direct access to functional regions described in feature tables (CDS, tRNA, rRNA).
Selection of entries using various criteria: Sequence names and accession numbers. Bibliographic criteria. Keywords. Taxonomy. Organelle.
Developed at Lyon University
ACNUC : possible accesses
Graphical interface distributed along with the databases themselves.
http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/databases/acnuc.html Web access at Pôle Bio-Informatique
