Submitting a sequence to the databases Your hard-earned sequence is now on computer, and you may wish to publish the details. Most journals now make it a condition of publication that a new sequence be entered in the databases. The essential reference to obtain from the database compilers is an accession number. Don't forget to append the sequence to the file. Acknowledgement You would normally expect to receive an acknowledgement within seven working days, and be issued with an accession number which can be quoted in any publication.
