 International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration

The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) is a partnership among three major nucleotide sequence databases: the GenBank database in the United States, the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) in Europe, and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ). The collaboration was established to ensure the comprehensive and global capture, maintenance, and accessibility of nucleotide sequence data.
