In this chapter, we will see how to access the tremendous volume of information from previous sequencing and genome annotation projects. We’ll cover how to get access to genomic, RiboNucleic Acid (RNA), and protein data.There is a wealth of public data sources available to bioinformaticians these days. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) houses GenBank, RefSeq, and other key sequence data sources. It holds protein structural data, taxonomies, variant information, and scientific references as well - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ . It also houses Entrez - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/search/, which provides a unified search across numerous NCBI databases.The UCSC Genome Database - https://genome.ucsc.edu/ houses a popular genome browser for major organisms, comparative genomics data, and tracks for regulatory elements, clinical variations, and more.Ensembl - https://www.ensembl.org/index...
