I downloaded GB rel 64 on the 18th of July. My plant file has 860 yeast-related
sequences in it.

I run the GCG package from Wisconsin, thus my files have been reformatted and
I can't directly compare file sizes. Would someone from genbank clarify this
situation, i.e., if the database was downloaded near the end of July, is
it complete or not?
