Submission of data
All users are welcome to submit their strain information and new allele sequences to our databases for Neisseria species. This information will be made available on this web site. In order that queries and requests for strains can be addressed to the submitter of isolate data, the name and affiliation of the submitter will be displayed on the website. E-mail addresses are not displayed but can be requested from the curator.
In order to maintain the quality of the data, the databases are curated and all submissions will be checked before entry.
Automated submission system (MLST submission only)
We have introduced an automated submission system for submission of new MLST profiles and isolates with complete MLST profiles. This system will guide you through uploading allele trace files, isolate data and new allelic profiles. Please note that new allele assignment requires submission of both forward and reverse trace files. New profile/ST assignment requires submission of data for an isolate with that profile.

Please send trace files (both forward and reverse) for assignment directly to the appropriate curator by E-mail.
