  • Submitting sequences to SRA

    Hello experts,

    I have spent whole day trying to upload my Illumina paired-end reads to the NCBI SRA. I have read through the manual over and over but it is quite confusing. Could anyone help me figure out how to solve my problems? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I have created one BioProject and one BioSample. The BioSample contains 8 samples.

    1. When I create a new submission in the SRA, should I create an experiment and a run for each sample? Or should I create only one experiment and create 8 different runs under one experiment?

    2. For Illumina paired-end reads, can I upload an interleaved file for each sample or should it be two separate files (R1 and R2)?

    3. I tried to upload two separate files (R1 and R2) which were quality trimmed for one sample. The upload failed. Should I upload only raw sequences or assembled contigs?

    for the question 2, you can upload the interleaved file. It is acceptable.

      The SRA is arcane.

      biosample refers to the source of your material. If it was 8 different people then that is 8 different biosamples. if it was, say, 2 people which were given a time course of treatment (for 8 experiments) that's 2 biosamples

      Each will then be a different experiment. you only create multiple runs when you quite literally have run exactly the same sample/experiment multiple times, or for instance you are uploading lanes separately.

      Most of the time when I use sra, it's 1 biosample, 1 experiment, 1 run per file (or pairs of files for paired end).

      You can use their spreadsheet to upload multiple experiments at a time (but you need to have created the biosamples first)

      In what way did the upload fail?

        Thanks mike for your helpful advice! I very agree with you that the SRA is arcane.

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
