Simplified guidelines to submit 16S rRNA-gene seq data to ENA
ENA (European Nucleotide Archive) is the repository for sequence data hosted by EMBL-EBI (European Molecular Biology Laboratory - European Bioinformatics Institute).
ENA metadata model
Metadata
- study (project): accession number
- samples: sequence data $\rightarrow$ checklist (e.g. taxon etc.)
- experiment: sequencing experiment
Data files
- run: sequence data
- analysis: other data files (e.g. OTU/ASV table)
What to submit
Ordered list of conceptual steps to undertake for data submission:
- study: place-holder for the project
- samples: place-holder for the sequence data
- raw reads: sequencing information (experiment) + sequence data files (run)
How to submit
- Interactive: via browser
- Webin-CLI: command-Line Interface
- Programmatic: XML + cURL
