Submission of new allels and having new sequence typrd

[Former user]

Dear Sir

I have completed my work on Achtman MLST of E. coli and searched for my alleles on the Enterobase website that automatically recognized my alleles as new and gave them new numbers. I'm trying to have the sequence type number for every seven alleles but I don't know how. Where should I go?

Is there any response?

I believe that your username is AbdelRahman, however I can find no strains that were submitted directly to Enterobase using this username. Enterobase only recognises new alleles based on samples that have been submitted to Enterobase, or have been submitted to NCBI or ENA and subsequently automatically imported into Enterobase. Could you provide more information that would allows us to identify the samples with the new alleles that you have submitted.

[AbdelRahman Zueter]

Thanks for your reply, IYes the username is as you mentioned, but still, I didn’t submit any strain, all what I did is to search for my loci and those with no existing allele number were given new allele numbers (automatically) by the enterobase … I only used the function (Locus Search).

This would explain why no new allele number was allocated. In order to ensure the quality, integrity and traceability of the data held on enterobase, Enterobase only allocates allele numbers based on assemblies created from reads and metadata submitted to Enterobase so that we can perform a set of quality checks on the information.

Okey then I’ll continue the remaining 340 samples that I have and start submitting their reads
