BioProject Help

The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project’s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Other changes include a more flexible approach to grouping projects and addition of data elements including fields for funding source and general relevance categories The web site presentation has been redesigned and some of the data elements that can be tracked in the new database design will be added to the public display once data has accumulated. In addition, database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC).
