Greetings GenBank Users,
Close-of-data for the upcoming GenBank Release 183.0 occurred on
Monday April 11, at approximately 1:30am EDT.
The subsequently generated GenBank Incremental Update files
nc0411.aso, nc0411.flat, etc. contain data through the close.
Note: Release processing often does not begin until sometime during
business hours on the close date. As a result, a number of sequence
records processed *after* 1:30am are likely to be present in the
GenBank 183.0 release files, even though they are "post-close" .
Similarly, the first GenBank Incremental Update generated after
the close date is likely to contain a number of sequence records
that are unchanged, compared to their appearance in the release
files.
We expect to make the GenBank 183.0 data files available later today,
on April 14 2011.
Our apologies for the lack of advanced notice about the close date.
