My study has identified novel insertion sequences and I don have a genomic coordinate for these. How can I submit these to dbVar?
If you have novel insertion sequence data, please submit it first as a WGS Project. This will give all of your novel insertion sequences unique identifiers that can then be tracked. You can then submit your data to dbVar and these novel insertion sequences can reference the sequence identifiers obtained from the WGS submission. With stable sequence identifiers, we may be able to map the sequence to updated assemblies and obtain a chromosome context for this sequence.
