• The nucleotide spans of each of the above features (if known)

If you do not know the exact nucleotide spans of the above features on your sequence, tell us which of the above components you think exists in each of your sequences using a “misc_feature” or “misc_RNA” feature with the components present listed in a note.

Provide the following information with your microsatellite sequence submission:

• A unique microsatellite/clone name for each sequence
• The interval of any repeat region(s) within the microsatellite sequence (if known)

Please make sure to remove all cloning vector contamination as failure to do this will delay the processing of your submission.

• Each alternative mRNA sequence must be submitted separately. Each will be processed as a separate submission, and assigned a unique accession number.
• Provide each alternative mRNA sequence with a specific name. You can do this by using the name for the transcript’s CDS product. For example:
  /product=actin isoform A
  /product=actin isoform B
• Provide each alternative mRNA sequence with a note on the CDS feature identifying the sequence as alternatively spliced:
  /note=alternatively spliced
