(No flames please!) I am trying to obtain a sequence, the accession number of which is given in a recent paper (PNAS vol 87, pp5397-5401, by Feiler and Jacobs). The paper states that the sequence had been deposited in the GenBank data base and an accesion number was given, X53035. I have tried with no success to obtain the sequence from and from the EMBL server ( I don't have the address at hand but it's worked for me countless times before). Both servers give me back the message that this particular data file can not be found. I've tried to check the veracity of the accesion number by checking the EMBL newauthor index; again no joy. Can anybody out there help me? I would realy like to get hold of this sequence and the inability to get it from the servers using a published accession number is realy bugging me. Many thanks in advance. ******************************************************************************** Jeremy Weinman Plant Microbe Interaction group Research School of Biological Sciences Australian National University Email: jjw@rsbs0.anu.oz Phone: 61 6 2495051 Fax: 61 6 2490754 Snail: PO Box 475, Canberra, ACT 2601, AUSTRALIA ********************************************************************************
