Attention: This tool has been removed from UGENE since version 43.0.

UGENE provides free-to-use public bioinformatics data storage. This storage keeps DNA sequences of several popular genomes such as a human, mouse, drosophila melanogaster, etc., and hundreds of plasmid sequences.

Follow the instructions for accessing the storage:

1. Use the menu File -> Connect to UGENE shared database.

• The storage document is marked with the lock icon . It means that the storage provides the read-only access. Any data modifications are unavailable for such type of access (importing, removing or replacing of data).
• Each genome folder contains the INFO text object. It is the information about the genome or its source.
• You can export the data to your computer for working with the data locally.

• There are hundreds of plasmids in the storage. Use the name filter for fast navigating and searching an interesting plasmid:
