[3dem] EMDB accession code format

[Ardan Patwardhan]

Dear all

Just to note, with
>> EMD-##### where ##### is a number
I meant a number without a upper bound on digits (i.e., the ‘#####’ should be ‘####…#’!)


Best wishes

You will therefore see entries released in the coming weeks with accession codes in the range below 1001 but padded with leading zeros to 4 digits, e.g., EMD-0011 or EMD-0221. Once these are exhausted we will continue with 5 or more digits.
