include quality assessment tags to allow searching and batch indication of sample quality
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Sample data should include a quality assessment (QA) tag in the databases, to mark the GOOD, the BAD and the unknown (default tag) ones. Even though there are many targets and antibody experiments, there is no indication of data quality. This can be done immediately in the 'notes' field, but what allows for the best way to update sets of samples and also search for sets of each category.
Journals are increasing requiring quality assessment data when submitted articles for publication. See:
To facilitate the reviewers' tasks and to introduce a quality check for Big Data, IJC requests that studies involving original omics-based NGS data must include information about the sequencing coverage and quality statistics of the generated data. The corresponding instructions are accessible in our Author Guidelines [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/10970215/IJC_Sequencing_Coverage_and_Quality_Statistics_Guidelines-1607431877843.pdf]. This information will help authors to check their data and facilitate the tasks of our reviewers
