^a Each database is shown in the list only once, often in a category that was arbitrarily chosen among two or three appropriate ones. In the online version of this list at the NAR website (http://nar.oupjournals.org/), a database can be listed under two categories.

^b Accession number of the database in the online list; can be used to view the database summary, e.g. http://www3.oup.co.uk/nar/database/summary/1 shows the summary for DDBJ.
