Description: The Darwin Core Archive for the NMNH (Smithsonian) http://www.gbif.org/dataset/5df38344-b821-49c2-8174-cf0f29f4df0d has the entry "Genbank:" for the field "associatedSequences in (as far as I can tell) every occurrence.  If there are actually sequences, then you get something like this:

"Genbank: FJ766782; FJ784525" (e.g., http://api.gbif.org/v0.9/occurrence/888196789)

Not a huge issue, but surely a field with no data should be empty? Is this an IPT issue or the way the NMNH have populated their database?

Comment: The "Genbank:" empty string is in the verbatim record, so a publisher side problem.
