The National Microbial Data Center (NMDC) is jointly constructed by the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMS), the Institute of Oceanography of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Infectious Diseases of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Computer Network Information Centre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The General Office of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the parent department. The data resources covering the whole life cycle of microbiological research, including microbiological resources, microbiological and cross-technological methods, research processes and engineering, microbiomics, microbiological technologies, as well as microbiological literature, patents, experts and results. The Centre focuses on promoting the convergence and integration of scientific and technological resources in the field of microbiology to the national platform, strengthening the development, application and analysis of microbiological resources, enhancing the effective use of microbiological resources and the ability to support scientific and technological innovation, and providing high-quality scientific and technological resource sharing services for scientific research, technological progress and social development.
dbEST is a division of GenBank that contains sequence data and other information on "single-pass" cDNA sequences, or "Expressed Sequence Tags", from a number of organisms. Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are short (usually about 300-500 bp), single-pass sequence reads from mRNA (cDNA). Typically they are produced in large batches. They represent a snapshot of genes expressed in a given tissue and/or at a given developmental stage. They are tags (some coding, others not) of expression for a given cDNA library. Most EST projects develop large numbers of sequences. These are commonly submitted to GenBank and dbEST as batches of dozens to thousands of entries, with a great deal of redundancy in the citation, submitter and library information. To improve the efficiency of the submission process for this type of data, we have designed a special streamlined submission process and data format. dbEST also includes sequences that are longer than the traditional ESTs, or are produced as single sequences or in small batches. Among these sequences are products of differential display experiments and RACE experiments. The thing that these sequences have in common with traditional ESTs, regardless of length, quality, or quantity, is that there is little information that can be annotated in the record. If a sequence is later characterized and annotated with biological features such as a coding region, 5'UTR, or 3'UTR, it should be submitted through the regular GenBank submissions procedure (via BankIt or Sequin), even if part of the sequence is already in dbEST. dbEST is reserved for single-pass reads. Assembled sequences should not be submitted to dbEST. GenBank will accept assembled EST submissions for the forthcoming TSA (Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly) division. The individual reads which make up the assembly should be submitted to dbEST, the Trace archive or the Short Read Archive (SRA) prior to the submission of the assemblies.
