Which of the following is incorrect about Retrieving a Specific Sequence?

For projects that require the most currently available sequences, the NR databases should be searched

It can be difficult to retrieve the sequence of a specific gene or protein simply because of the sheer number of sequences in the Gen-Bank database and the complex problem of indexing them

Other projects may benefit from the availability of better curated and annotated protein sequence databases, but not PIR and SwissProt

For projects that require the most currently available sequences, the NR databases should be searched

The genomic databases can also provide the sequence of a particular gene or protein. Protein sequences in the Genpro database are generated by automatic translation of DNA sequences
