Submitters can choose an embargo length (default up to 24 months), after which isolates will be published automatically. Further details and release notes at https://t.co/GkaRNAqCh2.

[Keith Jolley @keithajolley]

BIGSdb v1.47.0 has been released and is now live on @PubMLST. This introduces an embargo system for isolate submissions. If enabled, submitters will now see an option to request an embargo when they submit isolates.
