Submit High-throughput Sequencing Reads to NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA)


Prerequisites

Note

To complete this tutorial, you must upload your FASTQ/SFF/BAM files to the CyVerse Data Store. See the Data Store Guide for instructions on how to upload your files (for example, using Cyberduck). Also, you will need detailed metadata about the sample being submitted ( e.g. collection/accession information, cell line/tissue metadata, etc.) and the sequencing platform used (e.g. library preparation strategy, sequencing instrument, etc.). These requirements will vary for the organism sequenced and are discussed in detail in the metadata section of this quickstart.
