DDBJ

DDBJ (DNA Data Bank of Japan) is an international organization that collects and shares genetic sequence data, which are the detailed codes that describe the DNA of all living organisms. Researchers around the world submit their genetic findings to DDBJ, which securely stores and makes this information accessible to scientists for research, understanding biodiversity, medicine, and agriculture. Think of DDBJ as a global library for genetic information, helping scientists access and compare DNA data to advance biological and medical knowledge.
