The Project database provides open access project retrieval. Original data source of Project database includes CNSA, NCBI BioProject. The main available information includes project title, description, data type, etc., which can help users to gain data sets information they need quickly and precisely.

Data resources date:

Project database comprises project data from CNSA and external web source NCBI BioProject. CNGBdb acquires project data from NCBI BioProject via FTP. All project data(obtained from FTP are parsed and integrated according to certain meta-information structure, and displayed on the page in order to provide search, retrieval and download services for users. Every project record (e.g. https://db.cngb.org/search/project/PRJNA239279/) includes the original source ID which can be clicked to the NCBI BioProject details page.

CNGBdb complies with the data usage agreement and related requirements of these source databases. If you have any question about the above methods of data references or think that the data references are not reasonable, please contact CNGBdb@cngb.org.
