Submit to the world's largest public repository of biological and scientific information
GenBank and Sequence Read Archive (SRA) both accept large-scale targeted sequencing projects (>2,500 sequences) for either a single gene locus from multiple organisms or multiple conserved elements derived from a single organism.
A Targeted Locus Study (TLS) is a large-scale targeted sequencing project (>2,500 sequences) for either a single gene locus from multiple organisms or multiple conserved elements derived from a single organism.
All sequences included within a single TLS submission are linked within a single BioProject and include BioSamples for each isolation source included in the submission.
The process for TLS submission is different depending on whether your loci are rRNA or not.
To complete the submission, email the file to gb-sub@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Depending on whether you submitted TLS data for rRNA or not, you will complete the submission process by following the steps for Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and GenBank submission.
Note that once the tbl2asn step is completed for non-rRNA, you should email the file to gb-sub@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Submit your sequence data on desktop. The desktop view allows you to easily:

GenBank is the world's largest nucleotide archive containing sequences from all branches of life. The archive is a foundation for medical and biological discovery.
Submit assembled SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, Norovirus, Dengue virus, rRNA, rRNA-ITS, metazoan COX1, Eukaryotic nuclear mRNA sequences.
Submit genomic DNA, organelle, ncRNA, plasmids, other viruses, phages, mRNA, synthetic constructs.
Submit assembled eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes (WGS or Complete).
SRA is the largest publicly-available repository of high throughput sequencing data. The archive accepts data from all branches of life as well as metagenomic and environmental surveys.
