Standard
GenBank accepts mRNA or genomic sequence data directly determined by the submitter. The submission must include information about the source organism and annotation provided by the submitter. More details about adding annotation and sample files can be found in the GenBank Submissions Handbook. If you have any questions about the best method for submitting your data, please contact our user services group at: info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
The following data is not accepted by GenBank:
Noncontiguous sequences
Primer sequences
Protein sequences with no underlying nucleotide submission
Sequence containing a mix of genomic and mRNA sequence
Sequences without a physical counterpart (consensus sequences)
Sequences with length less than 200 nucleotides
Raw sequence reads from next generation sequencing platforms should be submitted to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA).
Sequence data not directly obtained by the submitter may be acceptable for the Third Party Annotation database.
