XGENPUB is BIONET's sequence data annotation and submission program.
The program allows you to submit annotated sequence data to the
sequence databases.  XGENPUB handles the details of sending the
appropriate electronic mail messages for you.

The XGENPUB program on BIONET now utilizes the new common data
submission form which has been adopted for use by the GenBank and EMBL
databases and also by the Protein Identification Resource.  All three
databases will receive your nucleic acid and protein sequence data via
the XGENPUB program.  

If your nucleic acid sequence encodes a protein, please also submit
the translated protein sequence via a second use of XGENPUB.

For more information about the XGENPUB program see HELP XGENPUB after
the @ prompt on BIONET.

Use of XGENPUB gets your *annotated* data into the databases more
quickly and helps to make sure that the databases are up to date.
Please use this resource each time you need to submit sequence data
and encourage your colleagues to do likewise.  Scientists who do not
have BIONET accounts may still have temporary access to the XGENPUB
program by calling David Benton, GenBank Manager at IntelliGenetics.
Dr. Benton's number is 415-962-7360.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
