NCBI
The U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which maintains several major bioinformatics databases, including GEO and PubMed.
Timeline (last 90 days)
GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) is a public gene expression database maintained by NCBI in the United States, collecting expression data such as microarrays and high-throughput sequencing submitted by researchers worldwide; each dataset is identified by a GSExxxxx number and is linked to a platform file (GPL) and sample metadata.
Core biological databases such as NCBI, Ensembl, and UniProt each have their own API specifications and data formats (FASTQ, BAM/CRAM, VCF, GFF3, etc.).
The FITS data format standard in astronomy, the NCBI database in genomics, and the Hugging Face Datasets platform in NLP are successful precedents for integrating fragmented data into reusable community assets.
GenBank, under NCBI, stores more than 2.4 trillion base pairs of nucleic acid sequence data; UniProt integrates more than 250 million protein sequence records; and PDB contains more than 220,000 experimentally resolved three-dimensional structures.
