Last week, the MBSJ2009 (The 32nd Annual Meeting of The Molecular Biology Society of Japan) was held at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama. DDBJ joined a booth exihibition and some poster presentations, introducing "DDBJ Sequence Read Archive(DRA)" and "DDBJ Read Annotation Pipeline " which are DDBJ's new activities for the submission of the data produced by the next generation sequencer. For details of DRA, please visit the DDBJ Sequence Read Archive. DDBJ issues DDBJ MailMagazine No.46 . If you have any questions and suggestions about DDBJmag, please do not hesitate to write . We would like to hear from you.

We at DDBJ will temporally close our business for the New Year Holidays in the following schedules, according to the Japanese custom, and resume the normal business on January 4th(Mon), 2010.
Please note in particular that SAKURA will also stop in operation for a while (see below). However, the computer search and analysis and FTP are available during the holidays.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.
We wish you a Happy New Year. November 30th, 2009     DDBJ

CIB-DDBJ will close H-Invitational Database (H-Inv DB) mirror site as of Dec. 31, 2009. Accordingly, anoymous-FTP will be shifted from the H-InvDB server to the DDBJ server.
"H-InvDB" is an integrated database of human genes and transcripts. CIB-DDBJ and Biomedicinal Information Research Center (BIRC) constructed "H-Inv DB" to inform the result of functional annotation of full-length cDNA data set analyzed by H-Invitational since April, 2004. In addition, DDBJ released functional annotation at "H-Invitational Database CIB-DDBJ Flat File Server", by the flat file format based on an International Nucleotide Sequence Database.
Hereafter, please use BIRC H-InvDB site. Thank you for your access to H-Inv DB mirroring site.
