- jlduan 5y agoIt is a political thing. Japan has DDBJ (https://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/index-e.html https://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/index-e.html). EU has ENA/EBI (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/home https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/home). Maybe China wants to have its own. More Chinese institutes are encouraging their scientists to deposit human bio-sample data to their own servers. Some grants even require them to do so.
