BankIt 3.0
BankIt 3.0 Offers New Validation Features
A new version of NCBI’s popular online sequence submission tool, BankIt, is now available. BankIt 3.0 is designed to allow for the validation and annotation of sequence data before submission to GenBank. BankIt 3.0 automatically checks sequences and their features to confirm that they are complete, biologically correct, and free of contaminating sequence, such as vector or linker sequence. This latter contamination check is made using VecScreen, available at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/VecScreen/.
BankIt 3.0 also provides an expanded source organism modifier list and automatically translates all coding regions (CDS features) when either the CDS nucleotide interval or the resulting protein sequence is provided by the submitter. Try the new BankIt 3.0 at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BankIt/.
