Dear all

<div>The current format of the EMDB accession code is
EMD-#### (4 digits starting at 1001). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Due to the rapid growth in EMDB we are running out
of 4 digit accession codes. 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In other words EMDB accession codes will have the
format:</div>
<div>EMD-##### where ##### is a number. If the number is
less than 1000, it will be padded with leading zeros to a
minimum length of 4 digits.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have any queries about the change please feel
free to contact me.</div>
