Introducing
NCBI – A
Powerhouse in
bioinformatics
What is NCBI?
• DATABASES • Research
The NCBI houses several The NCBI conducts
databases , including GenBank Research on biomedical
for DNA sequences and PubMed problems at the molecular
for biomedical literature. The level using computational
NCBI’s data is available online and mathematical methods
through the Entrez search
engine
• Collaboration
The NCBI collaboraters with academia, industry
, other governmental agencies , and several NIH
institutes.

And their interactions similaritsimilarity
Who developed it
PubMed was developed and is
maintained by the National centre for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
What is GenBank
GenBank contains over 65 billion nucleotide
bases from more than 61 million individual
sequences.
How’s it used
GenBank is used for biodiversity
research, such as identifying animal
sequences from environmental
samples
How’s it accessed
GenBank is freely accessible and
there are no restrictions on its
use or distribution.
Entrez
Reseach
NCBI’S databases and tools allow
researchers to access , analyze , and
integrate a vast array of biological
data
Advancing sciences
By providing NCBI’s resources,
researchers can accelerate
scientific discovery and drive
progress in the field of
bioinformatics
