Figure 6. GenBank and WGS data trends for Chondrichthyes and all taxa.

Figure 6.

GenBank is the National Institutes of Health (NIH) genetic sequence database and together with the DNA Databank of Japan (DDBJ) and the European Molecular Biological Laboratory (EMBL) comprise the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). The cumulative base pair total for all taxa as well as chondrichthyan only data are given versus time for GenBank and Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) data. The Elephant Shark Genome Project is responsible for the spike in chondrichthyan GenBank in 2011. The little skate and elephant shark genome projects are currently the only two WGS datasets (yellow line).
