Sequence Submission

SEQUIN :-

Sequin is the latest multi-platform (Mac/PC/Unix) stand-alone software

tool developed by the NCBI for submitting entries to the EMBL, GenBank,

or DDBJ sequence databases. Sequin is an interactive, graphically

oriented program based on screen forms and controlled vocabularies that

guides you through the process of entering your sequence and providing

biological and bibliographic annotation. Sequin is designed to simplify the

sequence submission process and to provide graphical viewing and

editing options. This program is optimal for submitting multiple

sequences, mutation studies, phylogenetic sets, population sets, and

segmented sets. It incorporates robust error checking and accommodates

very long sequences and complex annotations.

BankIt :-

Is convenient for quick submission of sequence data. BankIt allows you to

enter sequence information into a form, edit as necessary, and add

biological annotation (e.g., coding regions, mRNA features).

BankIt transforms your data into GenBank format for your review and

when your record is completed, it can be submitted directly to GenBank.

You have the option of adding information by using text boxes to describe

in your own words the source of the sequence and its biological features.

The GenBank annotation staff reviews the submitted textual information,

incorporates it into the appropriate structured fields, and returns the

record by e-mail to you.

Webin :-

Webin is EBI's preferred submission medium. Webin guides the user

through a sequence of WWW forms allowing interactive submission

of sequence data and descriptive information to the EMBL database.

All the information required to create a database entry will be collected

during this process:

1.Submitter Information

2.Release Date Information

3.Sequence Data, Description and Source Information

4.Reference Citation Information

Feature Information (e.g. coding regions, regulatory signals etc.)

Submitters are able to modify and view their data prior to submission

in the format in which it will be finally published in the EMBL database.

Using Webin is the quickest way to get your accession numbers assigned.
