GenBank Info

 

Note: NCBI is testing a new version of the BankIt sequence submission tool, which will replace the current BankIt. 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

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

  • To prepare a New GenBank submission, enter the size in nucleotides of your contiguous sequence here and press
  • To Update an existing GenBank record via a Web form and with the ability to upload a text file directly press
