BioSamples an ELIXIR Core Deposition Database,
stores and supplies descriptions and metadata
about biological samples used in research and
development by academia and industry.
Samples are either 'reference' samples (e.g. from 1000 Genomes, HipSci, FAANG) or experimental samples,
and have been used in an assay
that has generated publicly available data in the European
Nucleotide Archive (ENA) or ArrayExpress .
BioSamples supports links between sample records and any sample-derived datasets,
including sequence-based datasets such as those held in the
European Nucleotide Archive (ENA)
or ArrayExpress, -omics-based datasets
such as those in PRIDE or MetaboLights,
and any other assay-based databases.
It provides links to assays and specific samples and accepts
direct submissions of sample information.
