NCBI Data Submission Services
Your Industry, Our Focus
Ready to share your valuable research data with the global scientific community? Eurofins Genomics offers streamlined, reliable NCBI data submission services, ensuring your data becomes part of the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database, a crucial step for publication and accessibility within the scientific community. From sequencing data to whole-genome projects, we support your research through every step of the submission process.
Types of NCBI Submissions We Support
- BioProject: BioProjects are collections of biological data that group various data points from a single research initiative or coordinated consortium. They serve as comprehensive entry points into diverse datasets, streamlining access to related data in the NCBI database.
- BioSample: This database stores descriptions and metadata for biological source materials used in experiments, offering essential context that supports reusability, integration, and new insights from existing data.
- SRA (Sequence Read Archive): SRA captures sequence data from high-throughput platforms, available in aligned or unaligned formats, providing a repository for raw reads from next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies.
- Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) Submissions: These submissions represent genome assemblies of incomplete genomes, supporting data for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes sequenced using a whole-genome shotgun approach. We handle split and gapped formats, ensuring that your genomic data is properly structured.
- TSA (Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly): TSA stores computationally assembled transcriptome data, assembling overlapping reads into transcripts using computational methods rather than traditional cloning, ensuring efficient data sharing for transcriptomic studies.
Requirements for NCBI Submission
- Submission Forms: Simple forms provided by Eurofins Genomics make data organization straightforward.
- Data Formats: We support multiple formats: SRA raw data (FASTQ/FASTA) for sequencing reads and FASTA files for WGS and TSA assemblies.
Deliverables
- NCBI Data Submission: We handle the technicalities of the submission, so you can focus on your research.
- Query Resolution: Any queries from NCBI? We’ll manage all communication to ensure a smooth and compliant submission.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What types of data formats are required for NCBI submissions?
For SRA, raw data files in FASTQ or FASTA formats are necessary. For WGS and TSA submissions, FASTA assembly files are required.
Why is NCBI submission important for my research?
NCBI submission ensures that your research data is accessible to the global scientific community, supporting transparency, data reuse, and credibility—especially for published studies.
What is the difference between BioProject and BioSample submissions?
BioProject aggregates multiple data types from a single project, while BioSample focuses on providing detailed metadata for biological source materials, which helps give context to the data.
What support does Eurofins Genomics offer during the NCBI submission process?
We manage data preparation, submission, and respond to any queries from NCBI, making the process efficient and hassle-free.
How does Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) submission work?
WGS submissions include genome sequences for draft genomes or chromosomes, either in split format (contigs) or gapped format (scaffolds). We support both formats to best fit your genome project’s needs.
