Linking the sequencing data to the sample metadata
In order to link your sequence data to the sample metadata, you have to provide information about the sequencing that took place. This can be provided manually (as show in Figure 10) or by uploading a pre-filled spreadsheet for all your samples. The spreadsheet template is available to download on the page.
For metagenomic data, it is important to specify the ‘library source’ as either ‘METAGENOMIC’ or ‘METATRANSCRIPTOMIC’ depending on the sequencing methods.
Once you have completed this step, click on the ‘Submit’ button to complete your submission. Confirm that you would like to submit – then you’re done!
