Note: NCBI is testing a new version of the BankIt sequence submission
tool, which will replace the current BankIt. This new version can be used
to submit simple sets, such as single gene/CDS or rRNA/ITS sequences.
If you are interested in trying the new version of BankIt,
please go here.
Please send any comments, questions, or suggestions to
gb-admin@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
and use 'New BankIt Testing' with your BankIt ID# in the subject line. Thank you.
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
Note: NCBI is testing a new version of the BankIt sequence submission
tool, which will replace the current BankIt. This new version can be used to
submit simple sets, such as single gene/CDS or rRNA/ITS sequences.
If you are interested in trying the new version of BankIt,
please go here.
