2025-12-08 Status update

At this point, we have released GenBank flat files with 6-letter prefixes that were published up to Dec. 3rd, 2025. The publication delay issue, which was caused by the downloading system, has been been resolved. We are now doing the releasing process of the latest flat files in sequence. Please understand that daily publication may be delayed for a few days depending on the data file size of flat files.
