Introduction
The Cohesive system includes 2 main upload features (Upload > Upload page from the Navigation Menu): Upload from NCBI and Manual upload.
The upload wizard guides users in a 2-steps procedure to upload files to the information system:
- Source: guides through the selection of the upload method, "Upload from NCBI" and "Manual upload";
- Upload: supports in the selection of the type of file to upload.
Two more ancillary areas are available:
- The "Prepare upload" page (
Upload > Prepare uploadfrom the Navigation Menu) is dedicated to preparation and modification of sequence files' metadata. Metadata are a requirement for manual upload; (in the main Upload page is also available the quick link "Manage metadata" to the Prepare upload page). - The "Check upload" (
Upload > Check uploadfrom the Navigation Menu) shows the user's upload history.
Upload Functionalities
Upload from NCBI grants import of sequence files directly from NCBI's databases. This upload functionality only requires a list of NCBI Accession Numbers.
Manual upload is the main tool to upload sequence files from a user's device. This upload functionality requires:
- compilation and validation of metadata, to be submitted in the Prepare upload page;
- the sequence file(s) or a
.ziparchive containing the sequence i files corresponding to the validated metadata.
