Hi,

I just noted yesterday what others have probably already noted.  However, I
wish to call this to the attention off the few remaining ignorant peoples.

We noted that some of the GenBank release 64 files were incomplete.  These
had been downloaded about the end of July.  For instance, the GBpln.seq
files had no yeast sequences.  This caused grave misgivings at our institution
which has more than its share of yeast people.  Some other files were also
incomplete.  I checked with a friend who had also done a download at about
the same time.  His files were identical to mine.  I went back to GenBank
and checked to see if new files were available.  Yes, they are and are
dated August 13.  Thus, If you have downloaded Genbank 64 before August
13, you need to check your files for their sizes compared to those
presently available.

Would it be possible for those  who FTP files to e-mail a note about the 
files we transfer so that Genbank could automatically let us know if there
have been corrections?  

Sincerely

Dana
