I noticed my records have been flagged. What does it mean, and how can I remove the flag after I fix the issue?
There are several reasons a record may be flagged, including the detection of a contaminated sequence or a misidentified species.
Flags serve two purposes: they act as alerts to inform project managers that an issue has been detected in their records, and they prevent a record from being included in the BOLD ID Engine and Taxonomy Browser.
In some cases, changing the taxonomy of the sample or re-editing the sequence can resolve the flags. Once the issue has been resolved, project managers can contact support@boldsystems.org to have the flag removed from their record(s).
