Beginning in January 2025, NCBI’s PopSet database will no longer be available.
While PopSet web pages (example) will no longer be accessible, individual sequences of PopSet will still be searchable and accessible in Nucleotide as independent records (example). A link under ‘Related information’ on a GenBank record page will also let users access other sequences of the same set.
If you submit a group of related sequences, such as those from a population study, we recommend creating a BioProject to link the sequences. BioProject is a robust way for users to access diverse and related data across multiple submissions over the course of a research project. Read more on how to submit a BioProject.
