The PANM database (Protostome DB) is a public database platform established in 2015 for the efficient annotation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data arising from genome sequencing projects involving the Invertebrates (include Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Nematoda). The database has been updated on a routine basis to further increase the accuracy and speed of NGS data annotation. In PANM DB version 5.0 release a total of 21,276,123 protein sequences belonging to the Protostomes have been made available (registered sequences of NCBI). The PANM DB version 5.0 contains about 4% of the total NCBI-nr data shortening the time for overall annotation of large-scale NGS data of the Protostomes. PANM DB version 5.0 can be downloaded for free from http://panm.sch.ac.kr/ for annotation based on local BLAST analysis.
