Why the retrieved GenBank accession sometimes is different from my submitted one?

0

Because of the sequence redundancy in GenBank, each gene is usually represented by more than one GenBank record. miRDB uses the NCBI Gene index files to map multiple sequence records to the same gene record. As a result, a different accession number other than originally submitted may be retrieved. However, both accessions represent the same gene.
