 The National Center for Biotechnology Information Programs and Activities Fact Sheet
The late Senator Claude Pepper recognized the importance of computerized information processing methods for the conduct of biomedical research and sponsored legislation that established in November, 1988, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
The NLM was chosen for its experience in creating and maintaining biomedical databases, and because as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it could establish an intramural research program in computational molecular biology.
NCBI's mission is to develop new information technologies to aid in the understanding of fundamental molecular and genetic processes that control health and disease.

General information on the center's work can be found within the top center section of the homepage as well as by clicking the About NCBI link on the left side of the homepage.
The Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz--which is one of the institutions involved in providing support work for the ENCODE project and which also developed the computer programs that ran the sequencing of the human genome--is in charge of maintaining the database for sequence-related ENCODE data.
Scientists in other specialties are "just starting to bootstrap our efforts to get their particular information," says Heintz.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides a comprehensive website for biologists that includes biology-related databases, and tools for viewing and analyzing the data inherent in the databases.
A division of the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, NCBI is the agency responsible for creating automated systems for storing and analyzing the rapidly growing profusion of genetic and molecular data.
One of the most difficult challenges faced in the field of bioinformatics is how to store, in an easily accessible manner, the overwhelming abundance of new information, including the sequences of entire genomes, the ongoing discoveries of new genes and gene products, and the determinations of their functions and structures.
