Greetings GenBank Users,
Due to a problem with Taxonomy services that occurred on the
morning of November 4, 2003, the nc1104 GenBank Incremental
Update (GIU) products contain 4973 EST and 850 GSS sequences
which lack pointers to the NCBI Taxonomy database.
In the GenBank flatfile, this results in source features that
lack the usual /db_xref qualifier. For example:
source 1..4880
/organism="Homo sapiens"
/db_xref="taxon:9606" <<< missing
And in ASN.1 format, this results in BioSource descriptors
that lack the usual Org-ref.db Dbtag identifiers. For example:
org {
taxname "Homo sapiens" ,
common "human" ,
db {
{
db "taxon" , <<
tag << missing
id 9606 } } , <<
See, for example, CF886832 and CG783296 .
The affected records will be incorporated in tomorrow's nc1105
products, with the missing Taxonomy identifiers restored.
Our apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
