Workflow for submission of novel alleles to the IPD databases. Red arrows and red text indicate steps performed by TypeLoader2, blue arrows denote email communication. (a) The intron‐exon boundaries of the full‐length sequence must be annotated. (b) The annotated sequence must be submitted to a general nucleotide archive like EMBL‐ENA. (c) An accession number will be assigned. (d) The sequence with its accession number and additional metadata can be submitted to the appropriate IPD database. (e) An allele name will be assigned and the allele will be added to the IPD database in question
