Still waiting for NCBI staff member to return to office and respond. Will shift to secondary contact.

June 17-20, 2025

ICAR2025 in Ghent, Belgium - looking forward to seeing people there.

June 11, 2025

Most Genbank issues resolved, waiting for NCBI staff member to return to office.

June 4, 2025

Still working through Genbank submission issues, mostly have to do with ncRNA formatting.

May 22, 2025

Working on addressing issues with GenBank submission. Various groups working on their parts of the manuscript: text and figures.

May 14, 2025

Call planned for end of June to finalize manuscript. Collection of final figures and text in the time between now and then.

May 8, 2025

Follow up and clarification email sent to GenBank. The staff member assisting us is out of office until May 14, 2025.

Reminder email sent out to all groups contributing to the manuscript.

April 28, 2025

Annotation submitted to GenBank. Finally. Now, we await review and acceptance.

April 23, 2025

Two ERRORS left to clear: cDNA/mRNA mismatch and one small intron

Will submit to portal after these are cleared and see what next steps are.
