Body: <p>I am not sure this kind of question is allowed here. I am asking because some of you might have already experienced this. </p>
  
  <p>I submitted some virus genomes in the Genebank. The genomes are on hold and are not public yet.My PI thinks thank we should rename the isolates. I have sent two emails to the admin asking that I want to rename the isolates. I sent an Excel file containing accession number, current isolate name and new name that I want to assign. It has been almost a month and I haven't heard back. So, I don't know if this is the right approach.</p>
  
  <p>What should I do now ? Should I just resubmit the genomes ? Or is there any other way to do that ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks  </p>
