New account system

Current account system

Bioinformation and DDBJ Center provides three separate account systems, BioProject/BioSample/DRA/GEA (D-way), JGA and AGD. These systems will be integrated into new single system with ‘group’ concept and users will be able to access all submission services with single account. In the new system, a principal investigator (PI) and a researcher can collaboratively submit and update records within their own accounts, and transfer records to a successor when leaving institute or lab.

Integration to the D-way account

As the first step, the JGA account system will be integrated to the D-way in 29th September, 2020. At the same time, the D-way account will be introduced to the application system of NBDC. After this integration, users will be able to “apply data submission application to NBDC - submit data to JGA” and “apply data use application to NBDC - download JGA dataset” in the same D-way account.

The JGA account migration process is explained below.

When you own JGA account only

If you have JGA account (Account: ‘A’) only, ‘A’ is migrated to the D-way. After the integration, in the D-way account, you can use BioProject/BioSample/DRA/GEA as well as JGA/NBDC application systems. If ‘A’ already exists in the D-way, an new D-way account ID different from that of JGA is created.

After a new account is notified, do NOT create new D-way account to avoid duplication.

When you own D-way account only

When you own D-way account (Account: ‘B’) only, after the JGA system is integrated to D-way, you can use ‘B’ in BioProject/BioSample/DRA/GEA as well as JGA/NBDC application systems.

When you own both JGA and D-way accounts

When you own a JGA (Account: ‘C’) and a D-way account (Account: ‘D’). The JGA accounts are merged to the D-way accounts. After the integration, you can use ‘D’ for BioProject/BioSample/DRA/GEA as well as JGA/NBDC application systems. The JGA data linked to ‘C’ are transferred to ‘D’. The account ‘C’ will be discontinued.

AGD account

The AGD account will be integrated to D-way as JGA (planned in 2020).
