Submit to the world's largest public repository of biological and scientific information
A BioProject is a collection of biological data for a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioSample includes descriptive information about the biological source materials relating to experimental assays.
Automatically create these during a sequence data submission or link them during submission.
You should register BioProject or BioSamples separately from your data only in the following situations:
A BioProject describes the research effort/study under which you will submit all your sample information and sequence data files. Provide required information best describing your data:
Optional fields:
BioSample has specific required attributes for different types of samples that were collected.
You will choose the one that best describes your samples:
Each BioSample must have metadata that makes it unique from all other submitted samples. The following three attributes do not make a sample unique:
You can add custom attributes by renaming existing, non-required columns to a relevant attribute.
Submit your sequence data on desktop. The desktop view allows you to easily:
You should only do this if you are instructed by a curator, have a multi year project, or if you are submitting an annotated genome before submitting the reads or the unannotated genome.
You should only do this if you are instructed by a curator or if you have a multi year project and samples are collected over a long period of time.
Yes, this is the preferred approach to data submission. The exception is if you are submitting an assembled genome with annotation.
GenBank is the world's largest nucleotide archive containing sequences from all branches of life. The archive is a foundation for medical and biological discovery.
Submit assembled SARS-CoV-2, Influenza, Norovirus, Dengue virus, rRNA, rRNA-ITS, metazoan COX1, Eukaryotic nuclear mRNA sequences.
Submit genomic DNA, organelle, ncRNA, plasmids, other viruses, phages, other mRNA, synthetic constructs.
Submit assembled prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.
SRA is the largest publicly-available repository of high throughput sequencing data. The archive accepts data from all branches of life as well as metagenomic and environmental surveys.
Submit unassembled, high throughput sequencing reads
