国际核苷酸序列数据库协作组织（INSDC）是由独立政府机构或非营利组织组成的全球性协作网络，致力于管理核苷酸序列数据库。该组织通过收集保存核苷酸序列信息及其注释，构建全面的科学记录库，实现数据的广泛共享。INSDC成员机构提供的数据资源涵盖：原始序列读取数据及比对结果、描述研究样本的结构化元数据（如分类学信息、实验方案及项目设计）、附带功能注释的组装核苷酸序列数据，以及基于序列衍生的分析成果。成员机构在科学记录框架内交换数据，并确保交换数据（含所有修正与更新）在无限制许可条件下自由获取。
The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) is a global collaboration of independent governmental or non-profit organisations that manage nucleotide sequence databases capturing and preserving nucleotide sequence information and annotations to create a comprehensive collection that preserves the scientific record and enables broad sharing of such data. INSDC Members provide data resources that include raw sequence reads and alignments, structured metadata describing investigated samples such as taxonomic information, experimental, and project design, assembled nucleotide sequence data with functional annotation, and sequence-derived analyses. INSDC Members exchange data and make exchanged data freely accessible without restrictive licensing as part of the scientific record, including all corrections and updates.
