As sequence data submission policies have been designed in agreement with both the nucleotide and protein sequence databanks, we wish to take this opportunity to restate for BIONEWS subscribers a few general guidelines on submission of their sequence data. Researchers should submit nucleotide sequence data directly to GenBank or EMBL for assignment of an accession number prior to publication. Derived amino acid sequence data may also be included at the same time. Amino acid sequence data submitted in this way to GenBank or EMBL will be passed on to PIR if the author permits their public release prior to publication, and need not be submitted separately to PIR. All other amino acid sequences may be submitted directly to PIR when the authors permit their public release prior to publication. Authors are strongly urged to use the sequence submission software package AUTHORIN to submit their sequence data to the databanks; a free copy (for either the IBM PC or Macintosh) can be obtained by sending your request and regular postal mailing address to: authorin@genbank.bio.net The address for GenBank submissions is: GenBank Submissions Mail Stop K710 Los Alamos National Laboratory Los Alamos, NM 87545 U.S.A. Telephone: (505) 665-2177 Electronic mail: gb-sub%life@lanl.gov The address for EMBL submissions is: EMBL Data Submissions Postfach 10.2209 D-6900, Heidelburg Federal Republic of Germany Telephone (+49) 6221-387-258 Electronic mail: DATASUBS@EMBL.BITNET The address for PIR submissions is: PIR Submissions National Biomedical Research Foundation 3900 Reservoir Road, NW Washington, DC 20007 U.S.A. Telephone: (202) 687-2121 Electronic mail: FILESERV@GUNBRF.BITNET While we would again urge that AUTHORIN be used as the first choice in data submission tools, the GenBank/EMBL/PIR Data Submission Form can be obtained either by sending a message consisting of the word DATASUB to retrieve@genbank.bio.net, or by sending a message consisting of the words SEND SUBFORM to FILESERV@GUNBRF.BITNET. This form can be filled in using any text editor, saved in ASCII (text) format, and mailed electronically or on disk to the databanks. Additional information about submitting sequence data to PIR can be obtained by sending the message HELP DEPOSIT to FILESERV@GUNBRF.BITNET. John S.
