A Sample defines an isolate of sequenceable material upon which
sequencing experiments can be based. The Sample object may be a surrogate for taxonomy
accession or an anonymized individual identifier. Or, it may fully specify
provenance and isolation method of the starting material.
Short text that can be used to call out sample records in search results or in displays.
NCBI Taxonomy Identifier. This is appropriate for individual organisms and
some environmental samples.
Scientific name of sample that distinguishes its taxonomy. Please use a
name or synonym that is tracked in the INSDC Taxonomy database.
Also, this field can be used to confirm the TAXON_ID setting.
GenBank common name of the organism. Examples: human, mouse.
Anonymous public name of the sample. For example, HapMap human isolate NA12878.
Individual name of the sample. This field can be used to identify the individual identity of
a sample where appropriate (this is usually NOT appropriate for human subjects). Example:
"Glennie" the platypus.
Free-form text describing the sample, its origin, and its method of isolation.
Links to resources related to this sample or sample set (publication, datasets, online databases).
Properties and attributes of a sample. These can be entered as free-form
tag-value pairs. For certain studies, submitters may be asked to follow a
community established ontology when describing the work.
SAMPLE_SET serves as a container for a set of samples and a name space
for establishing referential integrity between them.
