[bionet.molbio.genbank] Turn around between GenBank and EMBL

hill@mcclb0.med.nyu.edu (10/18/90)

I know the basic chain of events for sequences being submitted to the
major databases and the turn-around times for GenBank.  Several people
have asked me recently, however, what is the time frame for a sequence
submitted and processed at EMBL showing up in the GenBank nightly
updates (and vice versa).  Could someone enlighten me (us)?

Thank you!

John

John,

Your message is primarily directed towards EMBL, however with respect
to the GenBank's end of things: all entries leaving Los Alamos are
forwarded to IntelliGenetics, EMBL and DDBJ at the same time. Most of
these servers are updated on a nightly batch basis with that day's
stack. So given time differences, it is probably fair to say that all
the servers are updated within 24 hours of the data leaving Los
Alamos.


In addition both EMBL's and GenBank's Quarterly Tape releases are phased
so that each databank receives the other databank's release in time
to incorporate the data in their next release.

Regards,


Paul Gilna,
GenBank, Los Alamos
