SARS-CoV-2 NCBI consensus submission protocol: GenBank v2
This is a SARS-CoV-2 specific protocol that covers the steps needed to submit SARS-CoV-2 consensus sequence to GenBank. If you need a pipeline for frequent or large volume submissions, follow Step 1 in the SARS-CoV-2 NCBI submission protocol: SRA, BioSample, and BioProject to get your NCBI submission environment established, then contact [email protected] to set up an account for submitting through the API. This protocol assumes (and requires) that the user has a BioProject and BioSamples(s) already registered. Complete in order:: 1. Populate your templates first. 2. SARS-CoV-2 NCBI submission protocol: SRA, BioSample, and BioProject Step-by-step instructions for establishing a new NCBI laboratory submission account and for creating and linking a new BioProject to an existing umbrella effort. SARS-CoV-2 raw data submission to SRA (Sequence Read Archive) and metadata to BioSample. Users can modify this protocol to just create a BioSample with no linked raw data. 3. SARS-CoV-2 NCBI consensus submission protocol: GenBank (included protocol) Required: established BioProject and BioSamples Submit SARS-CoV-2 assemblies to NCBI GenBank, linking to existing BioProject, BioSamples, and raw data. Version history: V3: Direct links provided to download metadata templates (instead of hosting duplicate files). minor edits throughout the protocol.
