Description
Summary:GenBank® (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) is a comprehensive, public data repository that contains 34 trillion base pairs from over 4.7 billion nucleotide sequences for 581 000 formally described species. Daily data exchange with the European Nucleotide Archive and the DNA Data Bank of Japan ensures worldwide coverage. We summarize the content of the database in 2025 and recent updates such as accelerated processing of influenza sequences and the ability to upload feature tables to Submission Portal for messenger RNA sequences. We provide an overview of the web, application programming and command-line interfaces that allow users to access GenBank data. We also discuss the importance of creating BioProject and BioSample records during submissions, particularly for viruses and metagenomes. Finally, we summarize educational materials and recent community outreach efforts.
