Access to Completed Genomes

The first completed genomes from viruses, phages and organelles were deposited into the EMBL Database in the early 1980's. Since then, molecular biology's shift to obtain the complete sequences of as many genomes as possible combined with major developments in sequencing technology resulted in hundreds of complete genome sequences being added to the database, including Archaea, Bacteria and Eukaryota. These web pages give access to a large number of complete genomes, help is available to describe the layout.

Whole Genome Shotgun Sequences (WGS)

Methods using whole genome shotgun data are used to gain a large amount of genome coverage for an organism. WGS data for a growing number of organisms are being submitted to DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank.
