Project

An overall description of a single research initiative; a project will typically relate to multiple samples and datasets.

Sample

Description of biological source material; each physically unique specimen should be registered as a single sample with a unique set of attributes.

Experiment/Run

A description of sample-specific sequencing library, instrument and sequencing methods. An experiment references 1 project and 1 sample. Runs describe the files that belong to the previously created experiments.

You need to submit the metadata and data files for the experiment/run. Before submitting the experiment/run data, please create the project and sample first.

Assembly

An assembly is a collection of genomic sequences that are used to represent the genome of an organism.

You need to submit the metadata and data files for the assembly. Before submitting the assembly data, please create the project and sample first.

Variation

Genome variations of any species, including single nucleotide polymorphisms，short insertions/deletions and genomic structural variations, etc.

Before submitting the variation data, please create the project and sample first, and the experiment/run data is optional.

Metabolism

Metabolomics data, including metadata such as protocols, assays, samples, and raw data files for metabolomics study.

Before submitting protein data, please create a project and related samples first.

Single cell

Analysis results of data generated using single cell technology.

Before submitting single cell data, please create a project and related samples and experiments/runs first.

Virus sequence

Viral sequence data, including assembled or non-assembled virus sequences.

Before submitting virus sequence data, please create a project, the sample is optional.

Sequence

Sequence data other than the genome assembly sequences of the species, including sequence data of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), rRNA-ITS, metazoan COX1, mRNA, genomic DNA, organelle, ncRNA, plasmids, phages, synthetic constructs, etc.

Before submitting sequence data, please create a project, the sample is optional. Please submit the genome data of the species through the "Assembly" portal, the viral sequence data through the "Virus sequence" portal, and the experiment/run data through the "Experiment/run" portal.
