GenBank® (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) is a comprehensive, public database that contains 25 trillion base pairs from over 3.7 billion nucleotide sequences for 557 000 formally described species. Daily data exchange with the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) ensures worldwide coverage. Recent updates include policies for including spatio-temporal metadata, clarified documentation for GenBank data processing, enhanced foreign contamination screening tools, new processes in the Submission Portal, migration of Entrez Genome and Assembly displays into NCBI Datasets, and the impending retirement of tbl2asn, replaced by table2asn.
