This is a moderated blog, and all comments will be reviewed before they are posted to ensure compliance with our comment policy. Here are some guidelines for comments:

Hey! I just would really like to present a large thumbs up for that good information which you have right here on this article. I will be coming again to your blog site for more shortly.

Any chance of setting up an RSS feed? With so many blogs of interest, such a feed makes it easy to know when something new is posted on any given blog.
Thanks for the suggestion. We’ve added a couple of RSS links to the right column. Hopefully those will help.
Thank you for setting up a RSS Feed. Most of the people at my bioassay software company are reading articles regularly on NCBI. Having a RSS feed simplified with NCBI material helped us all read the same relevant material.
great blog….will certainly help in working on ncbi.

Buenos días. Hoy Domingo 18 Noviembre MMXVIII. Mexicali, BC.
QUÉ sorpresa tan agradable el poder acceder a nuevos conocimientos que tienen que ver con la condición humana y su salud integral.
Ojalá y este sea el comienzo de un aprendizaje que me sirva para utilizarlo en beneficio propio y de aquellas personas a las que puedan ayudar todos estos materiales por demás excelentes y con el respaldo del método científico.
Gracias por todo.
Dear sir,
I had published an yeast isolate under the name of Candida albicans (Acc no. MG996750). While submission during blast search i found it as the above mentioned organism. But now when i blast the sequence i found the result as Pichia kudriavzevii. So, i request you to rename the organism Candida albicans AV1 to Pichia kudriavzevii AV3.
Thank you. I’ll pass this along to our submissions staff. In the future, please send requests like this to info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. You should get a faster response that way.
