*Novel DNA sequence, novel RNA sequence, and novel genome assembly data must be deposited to repositories that are part of the (INSDC), or those which are working towards INSDC inclusion (as listed in the table), unless there are privacy or ethics restrictions that prevent open sharing of such data. Novel DNA sequence, novel RNA sequence, and novel genome assembly data may in addition be deposited to any other repository (including regional or national repositories) as required.
