What is CNGBdb?
The China National GeneBank DataBase (CNGBdb), also serving as the Guangdong Provincial Genomics Data Center, is a unified platform designed to facilitate the sharing and utilization of biological data by researchers. By leveraging advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and AI, it provides a range of services, including data submission, analysis, and bioinformatics training.
Overview of CNGB
China National GeneBank (CNGB) is one of the key science infrastructures in Shenzhen, approved and funded by the Chinese government. CNGB is committed to supporting public welfare, life science research, innovation and industry development, through effective bioresource conservation, digitalization and utilization.
China National GeneBank (CNGB) is owned by the government and operated independently by BGI-Research under the guidance and supervision of State High-Tech Industrial Innovation Center, Shenzhen (HIIC).
CNGB is a public, non-profit, open, and enabling platform. It facilitates advanced genomics R&D and technology transfer to industrial application, including precision medicine, agriculture, marine sciences and microbial application, towards its mission of making genetic resources "Owned by All, Completed by All and Shared by All".

CNGBdb is dedicated to offering efficient and convenient services for data archiving, searching, computing, and scientific database resources to the global bioscience community. We have integrated publicly available data from databases like NCBI, EBI, DDBJ, HPO, CHPO, ICGC, TCGA, cBioPortal, Uniprot, MSK-IMPACT, 5ExAC, 1000Genomes, NIFTY database, WoRMS, NHLBI ESP, NIEHS EGP, HGDP, Phytozome, dbNSFP, EVS, and GWAS, and we are truly grateful for their significant contributions to the archiving and sharing of biological data.
CNGBdb doesn't impose special restrictions on the use of these public data resources, but note that they are still subject to the original databases' terms and conditions. Before using the public data from these external databases, please check and abide by each database's specific terms and conditions to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.
We believe this approach not only provides researchers with rich data resources but also promotes the rational sharing and use of biological data, advancing the development of the entire scientific community.
