Greetings Julio,
GenBank submission staff are following up on your report, and will contact the submitters of the RAPD markers
that you mentioned. If you don't receive any information from the NCBI HelpDesk or other staff within a week
or so, please feel free to enquire once again.
By the way, the best address to use for questions like yours is probably:

Subject: [Genbank-bb] about a GenBank-rapd "dumpy" sequence published by Indian people
Hi,
Examples of some strange "dusty" sequence published by Indian people at NCBI. I compared accesion HQ883974 and HQ883972.1 deposited at genbank as from different especies.
The sequence appears to be the same except that one have 8 bases at one end. Both were released same day
LOCUS HQ883972 765 bp DNA linear PLN 26-APR-2011
DEFINITION Rheum palmatum clone rp1 RAPD marker genomic sequence.
LOCUS HQ883974 766 bp DNA linear PLN 26-APR-2011
DEFINITION Ipomoea batatas clone ib1 RAPD marker genomic sequence.
The BLASTN:query :HQ883974
>gb|HQ883972.1| Rheum palmatum clone rp1 RAPD marker genomic sequence
Length=765
Reveals a perfect match.
How do this sequences could be allowed to be deposited at Genbank. It appears that this example makes GenBank a place to deposit any thing, like Genbank was a mere box of trashes.
Any ways, I think this is a mistake to be corrected by the authors.Also, that is unannotated and appears to be a kind of RAPD markers. That would explain that this is not a true marker.
The following is a recent paper of many of these authors:
