.. or at least the *same* answer.
I did a quick check and find about 0.9% different, approx. 166673 out of 168107
entries with the same primary accession number are identical in NCBI-GenBank
and current EMBL. I used GenBank rel. 82 so the numbers may have reduced a
little since.
Anyway, the total of 1434 entries which are out of synch is of course too
many, and I hope we can fix these in the next few days.
