Submitting data to ENA

Many journals and funders require authors to submit their sequence information to a database that is a member of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) prior to publication. The advantage of submitting your sequence data to ENA is that your data will be permanently available and readily accessible to scientists worldwide. After submission, accession numbers are assigned to identify your sequence and any related information. These accession numbers should be included in your manuscript. You can choose whether to make your data publicly available immediately or wait until your paper is published.

There are three different ways you can submit your data to ENA –
