Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease.
At a White House ceremony held on June 26, 2000, the International Human Genome Project consortium and Celera Genomics jointly announced the completion of a first draft sequence of the human genome.
The NCBI sequence database, GenBank, the search and retrieval system, Entrez, and the sequence alignment tool, BLAST, were singled out as key resources for deciphering the human genome [Scientific American, July, 2000]. Revised June 29, 2000 |

What does NCBI do?
HomoloGene is a new service which compares the nucleotide sequences between pairs of organisms, including human, mouse, rat, and zebrafish, in order to identify putative orthologs. Curated orthologs are incorporated from a variety of sources via LocusLink.
