The Genome Sequence Archive family (GSA family) provides a suite of database resources for archiving, retrieving, and sharing multi-omics data for the global academic and industrial communities. It currently comprises four distinct database members: the Genome Sequence Archive (GSA,https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/gsa/), the Genome Sequence Archive for Human (GSA-Human,https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/gsa-human/), the Open Archive for Miscellaneous Data (OMIX,https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/omix/), and the Open Biomedical Imaging Archive (OBIA,https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/obia). Compared to the 2021 version, the GSA family has significantly expanded by introducing a new database member, the OBIA, and through comprehensive upgrades to the existing ones. Notable enhancements to the existing members include broadening the range of accepted data types, enhancing the quality control systems, fine-tuning the data retrieval system, and refining the data-sharing management mechanisms.
