Sources include: GenBank, Sequence Read Archive (SRA), Coriell, ATCC. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal that guides users through a series of forms for input of rich metadata describing their samples. As the capacity and complexity of biological data sets expands, databases face new challenges in ensuring that the information is adequately organized and described. The NCBI BioSample database is being developed to help address the challenges by providing the means by which data generators can organize and describe a broad range of sample types, and link to corresponding sets of experimental data in archival databases. nlx_143929 Resource:NCBI BioSample 2013-04-22T00:00:00 22139929 Research Resource BioSample Database NCBI BioSample Database Resource:BioSample Database at EBI Resource Synonym National Library of Medicine Supporting Agency SuperCategory Related application Resource:Coriell Cell Repositories Resource:NCBI Sequence Read Archive Resource:ATCC Resource:GenBank RelatedTo PublicationLink PMID ModifiedDate Label Biomaterial Gold standard or authority Stem cell Cell line Cell RNA DNA Keywords Resource:NCBI Is part of Id Database Has role File:BioSample.PNG ExampleImage Definition DefiningCitation CurationStatus The community can contribute to this resource.
