The purpose of the dnadb submission portal “Reference” page is to collect information about the project or paper for the data you are submitting. This includes: The names of the people who contributed to the sequencing of the nucleic acid sequence you intend to submit A draft title for the journal article that discusses this sequence (if it is unpublished or you are in the middle of writing) A title for the journal article that discusses this sequence (if the article is in press or is already published) The names of the authors of the journal article.
In this section provide the first name, middle initial(s) and last name of the people who contributed in some way to the actual sequencing of the data being submitted.
Initially, the ‘Sequence Authors” section of the Reference page has space for only one sequence author. If you need to add more sequence authors, click the “Add” button, located just below the space for the sequence author. Each time you click the “Add” button, another space for another sequence author will appear.You can click the “Add” button as many times as you have sequence authors.
Click the "X” button marked “Remove” located to the far right of each name entry to remove an author from the list of sequence authors. It does not matter if the name you wish to remove is in the middle of the list, the remaining names will stay in the same order.
In this section provide information about the paper that discusses the data you are submitting. Even if the paper is not published, or has not even been written yet, we still want you to provide some information about it: a title or basic description of the study, publication information (if any), and authors.
provide us with information about the current stage of publication of the paper and a list of its authors.
Use this button if you have not submitted anything for publication yet (i.e. if you are in the middle of writing or you haven’t written anything at all) or if you have submitted a paper, but it has not yet been accepted.If “unpublished” is the status of your project you must provide a reference title: If you are in the middle of writing, give the title of your unfinished document — even if this title changes later on, the submission can be updated with the final title. Thinking of a title will help you describe the sequence you are submitting, and why you sequenced it. If you haven’t written anything yet, you still must provide a reference title —it should be a short description of the sequence you are submitting and why you sequenced it (a short description of your proposed paper that includes the sequence you are submitting). Do not use Reference Titles like “Direct Submission” or “Not Published”.
If the document you have written has been accepted for publication, but it hasn’t been released yet, select the “In-Press” button. Fill the title of your paper, Fill the general publication information like the journal title, the volume, issue, pages and year of publication .
If your paper has been published, select the Published button.
In this section, provide us the first name, middle name, and last name of the people who are authors of the publication.If the authors of the publication are the same as the sequence authors, use the “Same as Reference Authors” button. If the authors of the publication are different than the sequence authors, click the “Specify New Authors” button.nitially, the ‘Reference Authors” section has space for only one reference author. If you need to add more reference authors, click the “Add” button, located just below the space for the reference author.In order to remove an author from the list of reference authors, click the “X” button marked “Remove” located to the far right of each name entry.
