In the field of bioinformatics, a sequence database is a large collection of DNA, protein, or other sequences stored on a computer. A database can include sequences from only one organism, as in databases including all the proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or it can include sequences from all organisms whose DNA has been sequenced.
