- Firstly, the assumption that GenBank 74 should be 'sort of identical' to
- EMBL 33 is false (depending on how identical 'sort of' means). The two
- databases are made at different times.
- We do not yet have Genbank 74 here: when we do, as for other quarterly
- releases, we determine what we are missing and work to include it all in the
- EMBL database. I'm surprised at the figure of 10,000, as I believe that when
- we made EMBL 33 that all acc#'s from the previous GenBank release were in.
- Another current difference is the accession numbers beginning with 'S' (about
- 3000 according to your figures) which we do not include in EMBL yet - but
- that's a different story.
