FAQ about New DDBJ Nucleotide Sequence Submission System.
Q1．At page "7. Annotation", I got an error message saying ‘First codon [aac] is not a start codon. / Final codon [atg] is not a stop codon.‘ What should I do?A．. This message occurs when the protein-coding sequence is not complete. Please add "<" and/or ">" marks to the location according to the rule for description of location.
Reference: Description of Location
Q2．At page "7. Annotation", I got an error message saying ‘To use [translation] qualifier, [exception] qualifier is required in the [CDS] feature. ‘ What should I do?A．This error message comes out when you chose only "/translation" qualifier at CDS feature. Usually, you do not need to add "/translation" qualifier to CDS feature, therefore, please remove it from the CDS feature.
Both /exception and /translation are used at CDS only when actual amino acid sequence is not the same with the translation obtained from DNA sequene due to RNA editing, rearrangement, or translation from the corresponding transcript or proteomic data.
