The accession number of BP

Accession number can be written based on two sources; one is from GenBank and the other is from RefSeq.

The accession number is the unique identifier assigned to the entire sequence record when the record is submitted to GenBank. The GenBank accession number is a combination of letters and numbers that are usually in the format of one letter followed by five digits (e.g., M12345) or two letters followed by six digits (e.g., AC123456). The accession number for a particular record will not change even if the author submits a request to change some of the information in the record. GenBank is an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences.

This accession number is the unique identification number for a complete RefSeq sequence record. RefSeq accession numbers are written in the following format: two letters followed by an underscore and six digits (e.g., NT_123456). Refseq are derived from GenBank records but differ in that each RefSeq is a synthesis of information,not an archived unit of primary research data.

The accession number for the chromosome 1 of burkholderia pseudomallei is BX571965 and for the chromosome 2, the accession number is BX571966.

The P1 protein, the accession number is YP_111366. The sequences of P1 protein is found to be on chromosome 2 with the accession number of NC_006351 from DBsource.
