What are the Sequin Wizards?

Created: ; Last Update: January 16, 2014.

The Sequin Wizards will guide you in preparing your submission file for specific types of sequence submissions in the NCBI Sequin Submission Tool. The wizards are designed to capture all the required source information and will provide some assistance with annotation. Currently, there are wizards available for the following types of submissions:

  • Viruses
  • Uncultured Samples
  • rRNA-ITS-IGS Sequences
  • Intergenic Spacer Sequences
  • Microsatellite Sequences
  • D-Loop/Control Region Sequences

Prior to using the Wizards, make sure you have:

  • Removed all contaminating vector sequence
  • Quality trimmed your sequences
  • Checked 16S ribosomal RNA submissions for anomalies using a chimera check tool. Anomalous sequences should be removed from your FASTA file.
