How can I go about publishing my own genetic data to the NIH GenBank sequence database? If I've already done genotyping with 23andme, is the raw data acceptable for submission?

Sadly, 23andme data will not be enough. If you want to submit mtDNA, you will need the full sequence. I used FTDNA to fully sequence the mtDNA. They give you a link to download the FASTA file after it is done and that file can be prepped to submit after you have it.

I used these instructions: http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/Submission.htm

Thank you!!
