GenBank Submission

Simplified submission of sequences, genomes, features, primers and traces.

Requires Geneious 11.1+

The Genbank Submission Plugin allows you to upload your sequences directly to Genbank from within Geneious, retaining the annotations and features that will appear on the Genbank record.

Quick Start

Install the plugin by downloading the gplugin file and dragging it in to Geneious Prime or use the plugin manager in Geneious Prime (under Tools - Plugins in the menu).

Once installed, run the plugin by selecting your sequences for submission and choosing Tools - Submit to Genbank from the menu. Click on the help buttons inside the options for further assistance.
