Nucleotide Database

The Nucleotide Database is a comprehensive online resource maintained by scientists that contains detailed information about the genetic molecules called DNA and RNA from a wide variety of organisms. It includes sequences, which are the exact arrangements of building blocks (nucleotides) that make up genetic material. Researchers use it to study genetics, understand biological functions, and identify organisms. The database helps in comparing genetic sequences across different species, aiding advances in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology by providing a central repository of genetic information for scientific research.
