And if you just have one sequence to submit, that’s now simple too - as you can now submit individual sequences via an easy-to-use web form. Spot a mistake? Scroll to the bottom of any sequence page and use the new "Report an Issue" button to let our curators know! 6/9

You can also now more easily see what filters you’ve applied to your search, as they appear above the search results - making clearing them easier too! 7/9
