Dna Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ)

The DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) is a biological database that collects and provides access to nucleotide sequence data. It is located at the National Institute of Genetics in Japan and is a member of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration, exchanging data daily with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and GenBank. DDBJ began in 1986 and accepts sequence submissions from Japanese and international researchers, assigning unique accession numbers to published sequences to recognize data ownership.

INTRODUCTION
 A database is a collection of information that is organized so that it can easily be
accessed, managed, and updated. In one view, databases can be classified
according to types of content: bibliographic, full-text, numeric, and images. [1]
 Biological databases are libraries of life sciences information, collected from
scientific experiments, published literature, high-throughput experiment technology,
and computational analysis. They contain information from research areas including
genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microarray gene expression, and
phylogenetics. Information contained in biological databases includes gene
function, structure, localization (both cellular and chromosomal), clinical effects of
mutations as well as similarities of biological sequences and structures. [2]
DDBJ Center collects nucleotide sequence data as a member of INSDC
(International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration) and provides
freely available nucleotide sequence data and supercomputer system, to support
research activities in life science. [3] [DDBJ Website Figure]
HISTORY
• The DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) is located at the National Institute of Genetics
(NIG) in the Shizuoka prefecture of Japan. It is also a member of the International
Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). It exchanges its data with
European Molecular Biology Laboratory at the European Bioinformatics Institute and
with GenBank at the National Center for Biotechnology Information on a daily basis.
Thus these three databanks contain the same data at any given time.
• DDBJ began data bank activities in 1986 at NIG and remains the only nucleotide sequence
data bank in Asia. Although DDBJ mainly receives its data from Japanese researchers, it
can accept data from contributors from any other country. DDBJ is primarily funded by the
Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
DDBJ has an international advisory committee which consists of nine members, 3 members
each from Europe, US, and Japan. This committee advises DDBJ about its maintenance,
management and future plans once a year. Apart from this DDBJ also has an international
collaborative committee which advises on various technical issues related to international
collaboration and consists of working-level participants.
ROLE OF DDBJ
• DDBJ Center is officially certified to collect nucleotide sequences from researchers and
to issue the internationally recognized accession number to data submitters. The
accession number issued for each sequence data is unique on the database and
internationally recognized to guarantee the submitter the property of the submitted and
published data. Since DDBJ Center exchanges the released data with ENA/EBI and
NCBI on a daily basis, the three data centers share virtually the same data at any given
time. The virtually unified database is called INSD; International Nucleotide Sequence
Database.
DDBJ collects sequence data mainly from Japanese researchers, but of course accepts
data and issue the accession numbers to researchers in any other countries. 99% of
INSD data from Japanese researchers are submitted through DDBJ.

SUBMISSION
• It is now the usual practice for authors to acquire accession numbers to their
sequences when they submit articles to journals. DDBJ is here for the author and
the journal. DDBJ is also ready to assign accession numbers to sequences even if
any publication is neither accompanied nor expected. The data archived in the
International Nucleotide Sequence Databases by DDBJ will be diffused to the public
by DDBJ, EMBL-Bank/EBI and GenBank/NCBI, and other data distributors.
