## Common Databases

**Nucleotide:**
| Database | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `nt` | All GenBank + EMBL + DDBJ |
| `refseq_rna` | RefSeq RNA sequences |
| `refseq_genomic` | RefSeq genomic sequences |

**Protein:**
| Database | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `nr` | Non-redundant protein |
| `refseq_protein` | RefSeq proteins |
| `swissprot` | SwissProt (curated) |
| `pdb` | Protein structures |
