# Public Data in KBase

KBase provides users with a unified resource for analyzing a range of public data together with the data generated from their own experiments. The data in KBase, which includes public data from various public sources as well as internally-generated analysis results, consists of an extensive set of prokaryotic annotated genomes; a selected set of eukaryotic genomes; and thousands of biochemical compounds and reactions.

Please review [KBase's Data Policy](https://www.kbase.us/about/terms-and-conditions-v2/#data_policy) and the sources of our public reference data.

To search public data in KBase, use the [*Public* tab in the **Data Browser** ](/getting-started/narrative/explore-data.md) within the Narrative Interface.
