2620 GenBank Flat File Text (Structured) The GenBank format was developed by the U.S. National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The format is a standardised way of recording DNA and protein sequencing information accompanied with other data, such as Journal references, keywords, definitions and other information, so that it can be easily read by humans and machines. The NCBI Genbank database https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/ is a repository of publicly available DNA sequences in the Genbank format, and takes in submissions of Genbank files from all over the world. 230 Bodleian Library, University of Oxford / Bodleian Library, University of Oxford 21 Sep 2022 21 Sep 2022 fmt/1770 PUID gb File extension gbk File extension 2108 GenBank Flat File BOF Absolute from beginning of file, magic bytes: LOCUS Variable: ORIGIN EOF offset 0-1, magic bytes: //. 1 Absolute from BOF 0 0 4C4F435553 1 Variable 4F524947494E 1 Absolute from EOF 0 1 2F2F(0A|0D)
