The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database
EMBL is a comprehensive nucleotide sequence repository maintained by EBI. Sequences are submitted by individual researchers and genome sequencing projects, and collected from patent applications. To ensure maximum coverage, EMBL exchanges new sequences with GenBank and DDBJ daily.
EMBL is growing fast due to genome and EST sequencing projects, and about 70% of EMBL's sequences are ESTs. The database is divided into about 20 divisions based on taxonomy and sequencing strategy, and for example EST and HTG (high-throughput genome) sequences are in their own divisions. A sequence can belong to only one division at the time, so for example human genomic sequences are moved from HTG to HUM division as they quality improves. Focussing database searches to relevant divisions speeds up the search and makes the resultset more managable.
New release of EMBL is published every three months, and the sequences
submitted between the releases are collected to separate module
(emblnew/emblupdate), which is updated daily. At CSC you can use EMBL
with BLAST and EMBOSS.
