Community Annotation:Feature Publication Submission Guide
From VectorBase Help System
If you know of a publication that describes a gene, transcript, or protein's functional role or determination method, you can submit that publication to VectorBase. After submission, your publication will be reviewed by a VectorBase curator and once approved, will be displayed in the VectorBase GeneView Gene DAS Report.
This guide describes how to submit a publication to VectorBase.
