Due to the large EST libraries included in the GenBank database, there are an extremely large number of Genbank accession numbers that can be used to represent the same gene. Including this large number of accession numbers in the GenMAPP Gene Database is impossible due to database size restrictions. For a list of supported ID systems, see GenMAPP Help. If your data is not annotated with any of the supported ID systems, you have a variety of options. As a preferred method, please convert your primary GenBank accession numbers, clonal IDs, or microarray specific IDs to an ID supported by the Gene Database of interest. Several conversion tools are publicly available, see a list of common ones here. In addition, the GenMAPP 2 Gene Databases allow for addition of any user-defined ID system. For details on how to customize a database or create a database for a non-supported species, see our Custom Database Manual or GenMAPP Help.
