The Genbank submission tool implements BankIT and is thus only designed for simple submissions of a small number of sequences from genomic DNA, organelle, ncRNA, plasmids, other viruses (see below), phages, other mRNA (see below), and synthetic constructs.
If your submission fails with these types of sequences please contact support.
For any of the following submissions, NCBI requires using their GenBank Submission portal (These cannot be submitted through Geneious):
- SARS-CoV-2
- Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) or rRNA-ITS
- Metazoan (multicellular animal) COX1
- Eukaryotic nuclear mRNA
- Influenza virus
- Norovirus
- Dengue virus
- Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic Genomes (WGS or Complete)
- Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly (TSA)
- Unassembled sequence reads (SRA)
Additionally, you cannot submit via Geneious:
- Larger genomes requiring Locus_tag or BioProject registration such as bacterial and eukaryotic chromosomes
- ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags)
- STSs (Sequence Tagged Sites)
- GSSs (Genome Survey Sequences)
- HTGs (High-Throughput Genomic Sequences)
- WGS (Whole Genome Shotgun Sequences)
- TSA (Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly Sequences)
- Raw sequencing reads from next-generation sequencing platforms
For information on submitting these types of sequences, see the NCBI website.
The following data is not accepted by GenBank:
- Noncontiguous sequences
- Primer sequences
- Protein sequences with no underlying nucleotide submission
- Sequence containing a mix of genomic and mRNA sequence
- Sequences without a physical counterpart (consensus sequences)
- Sequences with length less than 200 nucleotides
