SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2 samples that are relevant to public health

SARS-CoV-2

Use for SARS-CoV-2 samples that are relevant to public health. Required attributes include those considered useful for the rapid analysis and trace back of SARS-CoV-2 cases.

Metagenomics

Study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples

Survey (16S, 18S, ITS, other)

Sequences (e.g. 16S, 18S, 23S, 28S rRNA, ITS, COI) from samples obtained directly from the environment, without culturing or identification of the organisms. Example: 16S reads from mouse skin microbiome.

Metagenomes

Sequences obtained using whole genome sequencing on samples obtained directly from the environment, without culturing or identification of the organisms.

Specimen

Marker gene sequences obtained from any material identifiable by means of specimens.

Single microbial genomes

Study of complete DNA sequence of an organism's genome

Bacteria/Archaea Genome

Cultured bacterial/archaeal sample.

Assembled genome

Metagenome assembled genome.

Amplified genome

Single amplified genome.

Viral genome

Viral samples.

Uncultivated viral genome

Uncultivated viral genome.

Eukaryote/Model organism

Eukaryotic or multicellular samples

Model organism

Multicellular samples or cell lines derived from common laboratory model organisms, e.g., mouse, rat, Drosophila, worm, fish, frog, or large mammals including zoo and farm animals.

Eukaryote

Eukaryotic samples.

Human-derived cell lines

Human-derived cell line samples without privacy concerns

Human

Only use for human-derived cell line samples that have no privacy concerns. For samples isolated from humans use the Pathogen, Microbe or appropriate MIxS package.
