Abstract:

China National GeneBank DataBase (CNGBdb) is a data platform aiming to systematically archiving and sharing of multi-omics data in life science. As the service portal of Bio-informatics Data Center of the core structure, namely, "Three Banks and Two Platforms" of China National GeneBank (CNGB), CNGBdb has the advantages of rich sample resources, data resources, cooperation projects, powerful data computation and analysis capabilities. With the advent of high throughput sequencing technologies, research in life science has entered the big data era, which is in the need of closer international cooperation and data sharing. With the development of China's economy and the increase of investment in life science research, we need to establish a national public platform for data archiving and sharing in life science to promote the systematic management, application and industrial utilization. Currently, CNGBdb can provide genomic data archiving, information search engines, data management and data analysis services. The data schema of CNGBdb has covered projects, samples, experiments, runs, assemblies, variations and sequences. Until May 22, 2020, CNGBdb has archived 2176 research projects and more than 2221 TB sequencing data submitted by researchers globally. In the future, CNGBdb will continue to be dedicated to promoting data sharing in life science research and improving the service capability. CNGBdb website is: https://db.cngb.org/.

Key words: China National GenBank Database, data sharing, data archiving, omics data
