The accession number should be included in your manuscript, preferably in a footnote on the first page of the article, or as required by individual journal procedures. This accession number serves as an identifier for your submitted your data, and allows the community to retrieve the sequence upon reading the journal article. GenBank will provide accession numbers for submitted sequences, usually within two working days. Sequence data submitted in advance of publication can be kept confidential if requested. Data exchange between DDBJ, ENA and GenBank occurs daily so it is only necessary to submit the sequence to one database, whichever one is most convenient, without regard for where the sequence may be published. Most journals require DNA and amino acid sequences that are cited in articles be submitted to a public sequence repository (DDBJ/ENA/Genbank - INSDC) as part of the publication process. Receiving an Accession Number for your Manuscript NCBI provides timely and accurate processing and biological review of new entries and updates to existing entries, and is ready to assist authors who have new data to submit. GenBank depends on its contributors to help keep the database as comprehensive, current, and accurate as possible. The most important source of new data for GenBank ® is direct submissions from scientists.
