Thank you. I contacted them to ask about the annotation format they require.
I am in the process of preparing a genome and its annotation (in fasta and gff3 format) for submission on NCBI. NCBI is know for its strange formats and I am not excited at the idea of creating the Sequin table for the submission.
It seems the NCBI is the to-go place however, but are there other places to submit an annotated genome where the process may be more streamlined?

You can also submit your annotated eukaryote genome to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA).

But I guess at the end this will be the same mess to prepare proper flat files of your annotation.
--Update--
NCBI => They describes a a process (in beta version) to create a annotated genome submission from gff3 or GTF here.
ENA => We developed EMBLmyGFF3 allowing to prepare the EMBL flat file ready to submit to ENA from gff3+fasta files.
I am in the same situation... with a gff3 and fasta file and I would like to prepare the flat file in EMBL format that they require.
Emboss seqret - problem conversion gff+fasta to EMBL
For the moment I didn't find any straightforward way that works to do that. So, if you have any information for the conversion I will be thankful.
The Bioperl method is not working very well. Apparently some fields are not fill as it's required.
