From 10th of June 2014 the ENA SAMPLE checklist XML will be updated and the older version will be deprecated.

From 10th of June 2014 the ENA SAMPLE checklist XML will be updated and the older version will be deprecated.

The updated ENA SAMPLE checklist XML will:

(a) support the version 4.0 of the Genomic Standards Consortium standard on Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (GSC MIxS),
     which includes a new environmental package, the GSC MIxS built environment, as well as an update to attribute tags, attribute
     definitions and recommended measurement units. Even though this is a major GSC MIxS update it does not changes compliance
     of existing MIGS, MIMS or MIMARKS records.

(b) activate the 'GSC MIxS miscellaneous natural or artificial environment' checklist designed for description of molecular samples where
     no other GSC-defined environmental package is appropriate.

(c) introduce the 'ENA Tara Oceans' checklist designed for description of molecular samples acquired during the Tara Oceans Expedition.

(d) update the 'ENA Micro B3' checklist designed for description of molecular samples acquired during the Ocean Sampling Day (OSD) Campaign.

(e) incorporate recent upgrade to the 'ENA GMI report' checklist designed for description of pathogen samples for the
     Global Microbial Identifier (GMI) reporting system.
