IntroductionrnBiological databases represent an extraordinary collective volume of work. Diligently built up over decades and comprising many millions of contributions from the biomedical research community, biological databases provide worldwide access to a massive number of records (also known as entries) [1]. Starting from individual laboratories, genomes are sequenced,assembled, annotated, and ultimately submitted to primary nucleotide databases such as GenBank [2], European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) [3], and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) [4] (collectively known as the Intational Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration, INSDC).
