    Need help with a GenBank submission

    Hello everyone,

    New to the forum, but I have a question which I hope someone can help me with. I am trying to submit to GenBank Roche 454 16S sequences but is having a small problem. We used the pipeline QIIME for our alignment etc. However, when you submit to GenBank, you need at least the sequence and the organism name. The QIIME pipeline is a bit different. It generates a sequence file and then a phylogeny file which is matched by an identifier. My problem is that I have at least 122,000 sequences. It is nearly impossible for me to perform this manually. This is probably easiest done via a script of some sort (unfortunately I have no script writing ability).

    Does anyone know of any open sourced software or of any other programs I could use to resolve this problem. We have already submitted the paper so submitting the sequences is a high priority (I didn't expect it to be this difficult).

    Should you not be submitting this data via the short read archive (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK47529/) rather than GenBank (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/guide/h...quence-data/)?

      Actually I am. The person at GenBank forwarded my email to SRA. I still need to have the sequences and the phylogeny in the same file as far I know however so I will still need a script or program to do that.

        Having not submitted similar data I am not 100% sure what exactly it is that you need to do. Can you post an example and the final result you want?

        Clearly this problem must have been faced by others before. Nothing seems to come up in searches though.

          You can use human metagenome or other metagenome for the taxonomy field in BioSample. Here's some examples we have done, you probably need to tweak things:




          P.S. I feel your pain on doing these kinds of submission.

            From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
            by SEQadmin2


            Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


            The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

            Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
            by SEQadmin2


            With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.


            Introduction

            Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

            Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
            by SEQadmin2

            Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


            Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
