*GenBank Direct Submission Options

Use BankIt if:
  • you have one or a few sequence submissions
  • you prefer to use a WWW-based submission tool
  • your sequence annotation is not complicated
  • you do not require sequence analysis tools to submit your sequence(s)
Use Sequin if:
  • you are submitting long or complex submissions
  • you are submitting mutation, phylogenetic, population, environmental, or segmented sets
  • you would like graphical viewing and editing options, including the alignment editor
  • you would like network access to related analytical tools
Large Sequin-created files can be submitted directly through the SequinMacroSend system.

*GenBank Sequence Submission Policy

GenBank accepts DNA/RNA sequences that have been sequenced by the submitter.

At this time the following types of submissions are NOT acceptable:
  • sequences of less than 50 bp in length
  • a genomic sequence of multiple exons joined together without the sequence of the intervening introns or without a 'gap' of internal nnns representing the missing sequence
  • primer only sequences
  • protein only sequences
  • sequences containing a mix of genomic and mRNA sequence represented as a single sequence
  • Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) submissions (should be submitted through the dbEST system)
  • Genome Survey Sequence (GSS) submissions (should be submitted through the dbGSS system)
Note: If your submitted sequence is identical in multiple sources (eg: different geographies/specimens/isolates/strains), then you should submit each sequence from each source as a separate submission.

*BankIt: GenBank Submissions by WWW

  • GenBank provides annotation examples and descriptions for several types of sequence submissions.
