CNGBdb - China National GeneBank DataBase

What is CNGBdb ?

China National GeneBank DataBase (CNGBdb) is a unified platform built for biological
big data sharing and application services to the research community. Based on the
big data and cloud computing technologies, it provides data services such as archive,
analysis, knowledge search, management authorization, and visualization. At present,
CNGBdb has integrated large amounts of internal and external molecular data and
other information from CNGB, NCBI, EBI, DDBJ, etc., indexed by search, covering 10
data structures. Moreover, CNGBdb correlates living sources, biological samples and
bioinformatic data to realize the traceability of comprehensive data.

CNGBdb Data Resources

Based on the internal data source from “Three Banks and Two Platforms” of CNGB
and external data source from NCBI, EBI, DDBJ, etc., and following the data
standards of international standard alliance such as INSDC, DataCite, GA4GH, GGBN,
ACMG, CNGBdb builds data structures covering literature, gene, variation, protein,
etc., and provides data sharing and application services such as data archive, query
and retrieval, and analysis.

Three Banks and Two Platforms of CNGB

In January 2011, relying on BGI-Shenzhen, the CNGB was established with the
approval of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). The CNGB
has integrated five arms divided into three "banks" and two "platforms." The banks
include a Biorepository, Bio-informatics Data Center and Living Biobank, while the
platforms consist of a Digitalization Platform, as well as a Synthesis and Editing
Platform. Based on the ability of storing, reading and writing massive biological
resources, the CNGB has built a public welfare, open, supportive and leading service
platform for genetic resources mining. Based on the living samples, biological
resource samples, and bioinformatics data, CNGBdb provides various biological big
data sharing and application services.

One of the main advantages of the CNGB is the construction of a Biorepository,

Bio-informatics Data Center and Living Biobank covering the life cycle. CNGBdb
interconnects the information of the three banks and provides external data sharing
services to enable biological data to be traced throughout the life cycle.
