CIB-DDBJ will close H-Invitational Database (H-Inv DB) mirror site as of Dec. 31, 2009. Accordingly, anonymous-FTP will be shifted from the H-InvDB server to the DDBJ server.
"H-InvDB" is an integrated database of human genes and transcripts. CIB-DDBJ and Biomedicinal Information Research Center (BIRC) constructed "H-Inv DB" to inform the result of functional annotation of full-length cDNA data set analyzed by H-Invitational since April, 2004. In addition, DDBJ released functional annotation at "H-Invitational Database CIB-DDBJ Flat File Server", by the flat file format based on an International Nucleotide Sequence Database.
Hereafter, please use BIRC H-InvDB site. Thank you for your access to H-Inv DB mirroring site.

In the DDBJ's Blast service provided via WWW, a bug was fixed. The details are as follows:

• Period: from Feb., 2009 to Oct. 22, 2009 (JST)
• Service: BLAST
• Condition: In the result view screen of "Text View" option, the horizontal line of the sequence and the corresponding check box (to select the sequence for the successive ClustalW analysis) was unmatched. As a result, in the following ClustalW analysis, when the "GO TO CLUSTALW" bottun was clicked, the sequence below the checked line was entered automatically. This defect was only in the result view screen, and the BLAST search result was all correct.
• Measure: The bug had already been removed, and at present, the location of the sequence and the check box is viewed correctly.

DDBJ sincerely apologizes for your inconvenience during the long period.

These entries were released as DDBJ daily updates on February 27, 2009.

getentry is the entry retrieval system by accession numbers etc., which is provided by DDBJ via WWW and WebAPI.
At the suppress entries retrieval under the following conditions, the results are displayed in the format different from the specified format. The details are as follows:

[Retrieval conditions]

• database: DDBJ
• output format: FASTA(incl. CDS), DDBJ-XML, INSD-XML
• Result (how to obtain the result): E-mail, FTP

[Phenomenon]
In the sequence retrieval of the suppress entries under the above conditions, the corresponding suppress entries are outputted in the DDBJ flat file format, although the different format was specified. When the entries either do not fit the above conditions and/or are other than suppress entries, there are no problems.

[Measure]
At present, DDBJ works on this problem. We will inform at this DBJ HP as soon as the problem is fixed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

DDBJ provides HMMPFAM which is a motif search program against Pfam motif database on the basis of Hidden Markov Model (HMM).
Because of the system failure, in DDBJ's HMMPFAM, queries had not been accepted normally during the following period. The details are as follows:

• Period: from January 8, 2009 to February 14, 2009 at 02:52 (JST)
• Condition:
    obtain results by WWW: no results were displayed even you click "view result" button.
    obtain results by E-mail: an empty mail was returned.

The bug was fixed already, and now, the results are available either by WWW or by E-mail. We apologize for your inconvenience for a long time.

Mirroring H-Invitational DB will be unavailable at the following schedule, because of the maintenance works.

• Date: February 20(Fri), 2009 at 17:00(JST) - 23(Mon) at 12:00 (JST)

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

In the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank International Nucleotide Sequence Database, owing to some accident, a part of EMBL originated entries were overwritten by the old data, and were incorporated into the search target database for getentry and ARSA.
Therefore, since February 5 (Thu) early morning (JST), the entries of the listed accession numbers (see the list) are not displayed at the latest version (other than listed entries are correctly displayed).
At present, DDBJ hastens to the recovery works of the latest version data (the works are scheduled to finish within February 6. Completion of the works will be notified in this DDBJ HP.)
If you did a search of the DDBJ database using getentry and/or ARSA after February 5 (Thu) early morning (JST), please execute your search again after the completion of the data recovery.

We awfully apologize for your inconvenience.

Data recovery works are finished. Thank you for your cooperation.(Feb. 6, 2009 at 18:40(JST))

DDBJ temporarily suspends a part of DDBJ computer services at the following schedule, because of the computer system enhancement works.

Service	Period
- SAKURA	Feb. 17(Tue) 17:00(JST) - Feb. 18(Wed) 17:00(JST)
- DDBJHP - getentry - TXSearch - ARSA - Homology Search (including ClustalW) - Vector Screening System	Feb. 18 (Wed) 9:00 - 17:00(JST)

The above is estimated schedule. Each service will be resumed as soon as the works are completed.
We are sorry for your inconvenience, but we will appreciate for your understanding and cooperation.

All services are resumed. Thank you for your cooperation. (Feb. 18, at 17:00 JST)

getentry is the entry retrieval system by accession numbers etc., which is provided by DDBJ via WWW and WebAPI.
In June, 2008, in displaying the sequences of CON entries, 2 problems had happened.
Details are as follows.

Problems happened in June, 2008
(1) When a cited piece entry is described with "complement" operator in a CON entry, the sequence span cited from the piece entry is processed as the forward strand, whereas it should be processed into the complementary sequence (Fixed in Jul, 2008)
(2) When the piece entry of retrieved CON entry contains a CON entry, it can not be processed correctly.

Problems fixed in January, 2009
(1) Contents of the problems In the getentry, to get the conjugated sequences of CON entries, two methods (display on browser and FTP) are provided. However, neither of two methods works properly in the case of retrieving CON entries under the following conditions.

• When you specify "total nt seq FASTA" as output format, and "www", "E-Mail" or "FTP" as Results
• When you specify "Flat file (DDBJ)" as output format, and "www" as Results

(2)Affected services: getentry, ARSA, Web API (GetEntry )
(3)Measure completed date: January 13, 2009
(4)Reference: Apology for the defective results of CON entries in getentry(June 20, 2008)

We sincerely apologize for your long time inconvenience.
