It might be expensive to do from scratch, but it's a type of effort that with the right pitch, someone like Google could be persuaded to host. For humanitarian reasons and the tax write off.

Why not? I can't easily find how much data is in the SRA as of now...

If you think about it rationally, there's no way you can have a centralised single resource for sequence data volumes which are doubling every year or so.Leave a comment:

According to the email it will be around for some months yet ...
Not clear as yet what will happen to the already submitted data.Leave a comment:

I did wonder about that myself but then decided who has the time to fake up official NCBI communication?
But anyhow, I've had independent confirmation from several sources that it is true.Leave a comment:

Omg!
Taking on the ad hoc centralization of such an important shared database resource at the forefront of such an important developing scientific field and then just dropping it from open access sight is the pits! NCBI, I am pointing fingers at you. At the very least, local, institutional science libraries and infrastructure should have been primed to develop their own SRA capacities, (and then staffed by their own employees of course) as your SRA curation was clearly not founded upon reliable scientific funding committments.Leave a comment:

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
