Could someone please EMAIL to me (or post here) the correct procedures for 1. submitting files containing sequences in order to get an accession number prior to publication. 2. submitting files containing sequences which can be searched against the updated databases for homology etc. Thanks.

The preferred way is to get a copy of the AuthorIn program from us and use it to prepare your submission. A free copy is available for IBM PC's and one will be out in a short time for the Mac. To obtain a copy, please send your regular mailing address to authorin@genbank.bio.net. If you are in a real hurry, you can get a copy of an electronic submission form which can be filled in with a text editor and returned by e-mail (instructions and return address are on the form). AuthorIn helps error check the submission and prepares it in a fashion for rapid inclusion in the GenBank RDBMS, while the submission form is just that, a form which you fill out yourself. To get a copy of the form, send a mail message to retrieve@genbank.bio.net. Leave the Subject: blank and include the word DATASUB in the body of the mail message. > 2. submitting files containing sequences which can be > searched against the updated databases for homology etc. I'll send these along in a follow-up message (not cc'ed to the newsgroup). For others who want to obtain these instructions, send a mail message with no Subject and the single word HELP to search@genbank.bio.net.
