(It's a ...) Micro World (... after all): BankIt

BankIt - I hate you GenBank

Why I can't set my "Clone ID" to use the "Sequence ID" is beyond me. Why does it have to be "You use the same property for every item, or construct some stupid tab-delimited table to upload"? Why not have a damn button which says "You want to use the Sequence ID for the Clone ID"? How hard is that? Does no one ever do that?

Who is this joker?

Thomas Joseph
Professionally I am a bug hunter (aka microbiologist) and a gene jockey (aka molecular biologist). I started my career as a med tech, but now I'm a research scientist who studies environmental microbiology. When I'm not answering scientific questions about the roles that microbes play on climate change and/or water and soil quality, I'm an amateur astronomer and play racquetball. I'm also a sports nut, though my liking of both the NY Metropolitans (baseball) and NY Jets (football) tests my devotion to these sports on a continual basis. Fortunately, I'm also an OU alumnus (PhD, Microbiology) and we usually have a pretty good football team. Boomer Sooner!
