All users are welcome to submit their strain information and new allele sequences to our databases. 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.
In order to maintain the quality of the data, the databases are curated and all submissions will be checked before entry.
Automated submission system
We have introduced an automated system for submission of new alleles, profiles and isolate data. You can access this by clicking the 'Submissions' link in either the typing database (for alleles and allelic profiles) or the isolate database (for isolates with or without genomes).
- New allele sequences need to be trimmed to the start and end sites of the locus (see existing alleles for comparison). Sequences determined by whole genome methods can be submitted as FASTA files. Sequences determined by Sanger methods should be accompanied by a minimum of two high-quality sequence reads (ABI/SCF trace files), with at least one in each direction, which can be uploaded as supporting data.
Users will need an account in order to use the submission system. Please register if you do not already have an account.
Please read the submission system documentation for further details.
