Upload Metadata

Progress

Let's look at what we have so far:

Raw Data

Unprofiled samples

Profiled Samples

Profiled but undescribed samples

Study

Collection of profiled samples

Associated Metadata

Description of samples

We started with:

Raw Data (unprofiled samples)

Profiled the raw data to get:

Profiled Samples (profiled but undescribed samples)

Grouped the profiled samples into a study:

Study (collection of profiled samples)

Combined the profiled sample metadata with the SRA metadata:

Associated Metadata (description of samples)

Process

We want to combine the profiled samples and their associated metadata to create a dataset.

Datasets contain samples that are both profiled and described which we can use to categorize into cohorts for discovery of statistical patterns. Datasets are necessary for bioinformatic analyses.

Proceed

In the next step, we will upload the metadata to the profiles.
