CNGB Nucleotide Sequence Archive (CNSA), as a data storage and sharing platform of CNGB, is committed to the storage and sharing of biological research projects, samples, and experimental data of genome, transcriptome and other omics sequencing, including but not limited to raw data, intermediate data, result data and analysis methods. It aims to provide global researchers with the most comprehensive data and information resources, and enables researchers to access and use data with maximum authority. Submitting the main research data and results to a suitable public database is one of the article published conditions[1]. CNSA serves as a supplement to the literature publishing process to support early data sharing[2]. CNSA releases the open data to a public area for researchers to access on the premise of full compliance with Fort Lauderdale Agreement, NHGRI Rapid Data Release Policies, Joint Data Archiving Policy, CC0-No Rights Reserved[3].
Submitting research data to CNSA is acquiesce to the agreement of open data protocol. If the data is ethical issues involved, you should send the corresponding ethical materials to datasubs@cngb.org for review and backup. If the project which the data belongs to is related to the collection, sale, export and exit approval of human genetic resources, you should send an electronic copy of the approval document of the relevant department for the Administration of Human Genetic Resources (region or country with Measures for the Administration of Human Genetic Resources only) to datasubs@cngb.org for review and backup.
CNSA synchronizes the submitted data to ENA public database to obtain the ENA accession ID for users as ENA broker by default. If the submitted data requires permission control, or needs to be uploaded to NCBI SRA or DDBJ DRA, please contact the administrator datasubs@cngb.org, and provide relevant materials for assistance. Combined with data types and processing methods, CNSA uses the corresponding technologies and management measures to ensure different levels of security.
In order to facilitate you to query, retrieve, access, download, and use data easily, we provide an accession ID or a reducible digital object identifier (DOI) for each approved submitted data. To respect the research achievements of all researchers, we require you to make an initial confirmation before use any data.
If you have any questions about using the database, please contact us: datasubs@cngb.org. Collaborative interactions are welcome to provide global researchers with comprehensive and up-to-date datasets.
Disclaimer
