 
 <prompt> text: ```NCBI dey get series of databases wey dey relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine and e dey important for bioinformatics tools and services. Major databases include GenBank for DNA sequences and PubMed, wey be bibliographic database for the biomedical literature. Other databases include the NCBI Epigenomics database. All these databases dey available online through the Entrez search engine. 

NCBI bin dey directed by David Lipman, one of the original authors of the BLAST sequence alignment program and a widely respected figure for bioinformatics. E also dey lead an intramural research program, wey include groups wey dey led by Stephen Altschul (another BLAST co-author), David Landsman, Eugene Koonin (wey dey write plenty about comparative genomics), John Wilbur, Teresa Przytycka, and Zhiyong Lu. David Lipman resign from im post for May 2017. 

NCBI dey listed for the Registry of Research Data Repositories re3data.org. 

NCBI don dey responsible for making GenBank DNA sequence database available since 1992. GenBank dey work with individual laboratories and other sequence databases like those of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ). 

Since 1992, NCBI don grow to provide other databases apart from GenBank. NCBI dey provide Gene, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, the Molecular Modeling Database (3D protein structures), dbSNP (a database of single-nucleotide polymorphisms), the Reference Sequence Collection, a map of the human genome, and a taxonomy browser, and dey work with the National Cancer Institute to provide the Cancer Genome Anatomy Project. The NCBI dey assign a unique identifier (taxonomy ID number) to each species of organism.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who be the director of NCBI?
2. Wetin e write?
3. E be respected person?
4. For wetin?
5. Who help write BLAST?
6. Wetin kind of program David dey run?
7. Wetin Eugene Koonin dey write about?
8. How many groups dey for the intramural research program?
9. John Wilbur na leader of one?
10. When Lipman resign?
11. Wetin NCBI dey do?
12. When dem start am?
13. Dem get other databases?
14. Who dem dey work with?
15. Dem dey work with any cancer organizations?
16. For wetin?
17. Wetin every species dey get?
18. Who dey give dem out?
19. Wetin dey listed for the Registry of Research Data Repositories?
