Data Submission Policy


CofffeeDNA accepts DNA/RNA sequences that have been sequenced by the submitter.

At this time, the following types of submissions are NOT acceptable:

  • Data from submitters not registered
  • Sequences of < 50 bp in length
  • Sequences containing markers (such as microsatellites, SNPs, Retro-transposons, ESTs) without the relevent marker information
  • Genomic sequence of multiple exons joined together without the sequence of the intervening introns
  • Primer only sequences
  • Protein only sequences
  • Non-biologically contiguous sequences containing internal unsequenced spacers
  • Sequences containing a mix of genomic and mRNA sequence represented as a single sequence

Note: If your submitted sequence is identical in multiple sources (eg: different geographies / specimens / isolates / strains), then you should submit each sequence from each source as a separate submission.
