Summary
One of the primary initiatives of the Adaptive Immune Receptor
Repertoire (AIRR) Community has been to develop a set of metadata
standards for the submission of AIRR sequencing datasets. This work has
been carried out by the AIRR Community Minimal Standards Working Group.
In order to support reproducibility, standard quality control, and data
deposition in a common repository, the AIRR Community has agreed to six
high-level data sets that will guide the publication, curation and
sharing of AIRR-Seq data and metadata: Study and subject, sample
collection, sample processing and sequencing, raw sequences, processing
of sequence data, and processed AIRR sequences. The detailed data
elements within these sets are defined here.
