The Protein Identification Resource of the National Biomedical Research Foundation does accept electronic submission of sequence data. An automatic network server has been installed and tested. This network server handles database queries, sequence searches and sequence submissions, in addition to the usual file server requests. A general announcement of this service will be posted very shortly. To get instructions on how to submit individual protein sequences to the PIR send the following command HELP DEPOSIT as the text of an E-mail message (NOT ON THE SUBJECT LINE) to FILESERV@GUNBRF on BITNET The server can handle submissions prepared either by the AUTHORIN program, or by editing the electronic form, a copy of which can be obtained by sending FILESERVE@GUNBRF the command SEND SUBFORM You should be aware of the difference in the policies of GenBank and the PIR regarding acceptance of sequences submitted prior to publication. The PIR accepts a sequence for submission prior to publication only when the author allows its public release. If after reading this material, you have any questions about electronic submission to the PIR, please contact us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. John S.
