Standards, Repositories & FAIR Microbiome Data — Hands-on

Learn how to make microbiome and metagenomics projects compliant with community standards and FAIR principles. This module covers MIxS style metadata, popular repositories, submission workflows, identifiers, provenance and practical checklists so your microbiome datasets remain findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable for years.

Microbiome Standards & Metadata Foundations

Why standards matter in microbiome and metagenomics projects

reproducibility and comparison across studies collaboration with clinics, regulators and industry long term value of well documented datasets

Key microbiome standards and checklists overview

MIxS and environment packages concepts MINSEQE, STORMS and related guidelines links to journal and funder requirements

Designing robust metadata models for microbiome studies

sample, subject and environment level fields controlled vocabularies and ontologies practical templates for field and lab teams

Repositories & Submission Workflows

Sequencing archives and microbiome repositories landscape

SRA, ENA and DRA style archives MG RAST, Qiita and similar microbiome platforms specialised AMR and pathogen databases

Preparing raw reads, metadata and processed tables for upload

file formats, naming conventions and checksums mapping metadata templates to repository fields organising amplicon and shotgun projects

Hands on walkthrough of a typical submission workflow

creating projects, studies and sample records upload clients and validation reports handling updates, embargoes and release timing

Fee: Rs 14800

FAIR Principles, IDs & Provenance for Microbiome Data

Applying FAIR principles to microbiome workflows in practice

findable via rich metadata and indexing accessible with clear access conditions interoperable and reusable formats and vocabularies

Identifiers, versioning and provenance tracking basics

accessions, DOIs and project IDs tracking pipeline versions and parameters simple provenance graphs and run logs
