GenBank 1 article

At the archival DNA sequence repository stage of a workflow, GenBank operates as a public nucleotide-sequence archive with a clearly delimited function. The database or project makes public nucleotide sequence submissions and accession-numbered sequence records accessible together, while genomic sequence archive and transcript sequence records broaden the biological context of those records. GenBank stores submitted nucleotide sequences, whereas resources such as Ensembl add extensive genome annotation and genome-browser interpretation layered onto reference assemblies.
