Tracking down the nomenclaturally correct name for outgroups you get
off GenBank is a great way to add years and pages to the work of
writing a paper. My impression is that EMBL is stricter about the
premise that the contributor must be the source of updates than GenBank
is, but maybe GenBank is just not being as explicit when I tell them
that BLAST indicates something is in the wrong phylum (after I try to
align a sequence and find it doesn't look molluscan).
