GenBank, maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, is the world-wide genetic sequence repository.

While this is a huge undertaking, the structure of the database (flat file format) has been flawed from the start. While it would be a mammoth task to record all the flaws I have found, I will put a few down here.
