Sequence resources of the National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2027.

NCBI’s free DNA, RNA, and protein sequence resources—SRA, GenBank, and RefSeq—have received significant updates in the past two years, including Submission Portal enhancements.

• Why it matters: Keeping sequence repositories usable and interoperable is critical for researchers who rely on timely submission and access to public genomic data.
• What they did: The work summarizes the current status of SRA, GenBank, and RefSeq, reviews major recent changes (notably to the Submission Portal), and describes access via NCBI Datasets plus programmatic interfaces.
• The result: It reports improvements across NCBI sequence analysis and visualization tools, including annotation pipelines, BLAST, and the Multiple Comparative Genome Viewer, supporting easier data use.
