Preamble to Data Management Plan

  • Data management plan execution enables data FAIRification.
  • Metadata standardization is critical for reliable results and reproducibility.
  • There are three roles in data management: data owners, managers, and users.
  • Data management and metadata standardization provide numerous benefits that enhance the overall quality, usability, and impact of research data.

An introduction to bioinformatics file formats.

  • OMICs technologies are crucial for a holistic understanding of biological systems.
  • Common file formats in bioinformatics serve specific purposes and require specialized toolsets.
  • Metadata plays a critical role in contextualizing and modeling OMICs data.

FAIR Principles in OMICs ResearchReminder of FAIR framework

  • The FAIR framework is central for data and metadata management.
  • Data sets can be made more reusable by taking simple actions.

SODAR: System for Omics Data Access and Retrieval.OverviewSODAR components and data workflowSODAR serveriRODS serverFAQ:

  • SODAR is a user friendly data management solution that adheres to the FAIR framework.

SRA

  • The SRA serves is public repository for high-throughput sequencing data, supporting a wide range of genomic research by providing access to raw sequencing data, alignments and feature counts.
  • Metadata Organization needs to be organized. Although ISA-files don’t directly map to SRA metadata model, there is a clear separation between required and optional items. There is also some flexibility to adapt the SODAR system to a given experiment.
  • While access to the SRA database is facilitated through the NCBI website, the database also highlights the principles of controlled access and privacy for certain data sets.

  • This episode will show you how to create a project and add metadata in SODAR.
