Subject: [Embl-databank] EMBL Release 98 building process has started
Message-ID: <33305.172.22.69.29.1231768054.squirrel@webmail.ebi.ac.uk>

Due to the immediate bug fix, we have begun the process of building
release 98 of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database on Friday 9th Jan
2009.

Daily updates:
For those who work with daily updates from the EBI ftp server (or mirror
sites) the last update file for release 98 is placed:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/new/r98u024.dat.gz
The subsequent update file will contain post-release 98 data and be named:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/new/r99u001.dat.gz

The cumulative update file in
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/new/cumulative.dat.gz (and cum_*
files)
will continue to grow with new data until release 98 is built and is
publicly available - we expect that to be around 26th Jan 2009.

See
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/Documentation/changesdetails.html for more details.

Thank you,

Subject: [Embl-databank] EMBL-Bank Release 98 is ready
Message-ID: <1232966958.17373.5.camel@localhost>

Due to the flatfile error (lacking CDS cross reference), EMBL-bank decided
to produce release 98 earlier to fix the problem.
Release 98 of the EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database is available from the
EBI ftp servers and other verified mirror sites as follows:

ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/release (UK)
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/molbio/embl_release (Finland)
ftp://ftp-bips.u-strasbg.fr/pub/ebi/pub/databases/embl/release (France)
ftp://bio-mirror.net/biomirror/embl/release (USA)
ftp://bio-mirror.jp.apan.net/pub/biomirror/embl/release (Japan)
ftp://biomirror.aarnet.edu.au/biomirror/embl/release (Australia)

PLEASE try to use these mirror sites for download.

Due to the Chinese New Year holiday, Chinese site would be ready within next 1 week:

ftp://ftp.cbi.pku.edu.cn./pub/databases/embl/release/ (China)

Full release notes are available at:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/release/relnotes.txt
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/Documentation/Release_notes/current/relnotes.txt

For those who mirror our cumulative update files containing new and updated
sequence data since the last full database release, please note that these
will be changed to include only post-release 98 data at Mon, 12-JAN-2009 08:03:10.
