Programmatic read submissions

Introduction

ENA supports programmatic sequence read data and metadata submissions. Metadata validation and accessioning takes place immediately during the submission. A receipt with corresponding accessions is provided upon successful submission. Data validation takes place only after the submission has been made.

The production service is available here:

https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/submit/drop-box/submit/

The test service is available here:

https://www-test.ebi.ac.uk/ena/submit/drop-box/submit/

Submitters are advised to explore the test service before submitting for the first time. The test service is identical to the production service except that all submissions will be discarded on the following day.

Data file upload

Data files must be uploaded to your private data drop box before they can be validated using this servlce. More information on uploading your read data is available here.

Authentication

Submitters are authenticated each time a submission is made. The submission service uses HTTPS protocol for metadata encryption and secure identification to provide a confidential submission environment.
