Submission Category Page

Purpose

The purpose of the dnadb submission portal “Submission Category” page is where you confirm that you actually sequenced the data you are submitting. If you did not sequence the data you are submitting but want to create Third Party Annotation (TPA) submission, you will be asked to provide:

Original Submissions

The pre-set answer of “Original” indicates that the sequence is an original submission that was sequenced directly by the submitter.All of the following are considered original submissions:

Third Party Annotation (TPA)

If you click the “Third Party Annotation” button, a submission form for the Third Party Annotation (TPA) sequence database will appear. A TPA submission adds new feature annotation for primary sequences (i. e. sequences available in GenBank that already have GenBank Accession numbers) that is supplied by experimental or inferential evidence.A TPA sequence must be built from primary sequence data available in GenBank and identified by a GenBank accession number. There are specific standards that your data must meet to be included in the TPA database, so read through the information on the TPA web site carefully to be sure that your data meets these standards before you submit.
