Glossary

  1. Metadata: Information that provides details about other data, such as the description and context of data files.
  2. OMICs: Broad disciplines in biological sciences ending with -OMICs, like genomics or proteomics, studying various aspects of biology at system level.
  3. Genomics: The study of genomes, the complete set of DNA within an organism, focusing on genetic variations and their functions.
  4. Transcriptomics: Analysis of transcriptomes, the entire set of RNA transcripts produced by the genome, to understand gene expression.
  5. Proteomics: The large-scale study of proteomes, the entire complement of proteins produced by an organism or system.
  6. Metabolomics: The study of chemical processes involving metabolites, the small molecule intermediates and products of metabolism.
  7. FAIR Principles: Guidelines for scientific data management and stewardship focusing on making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
  8. FASTQ Format: A text-based format for storing both nucleotide sequences and their corresponding quality scores, widely used in high-throughput sequencing.
  9. Quality Scores: Quantitative estimates of the reliability of each nucleotide in sequencing reads, encoded as ASCII characters in FASTQ files.
  10. Digital Object Identifier (DOI): A unique alphanumeric string assigned to a digital object, such as a dataset or publication, to provide a persistent link to its location on the internet.
  11. Sequence Read Archive (SRA): A public repository for high-throughput sequencing data, allowing researchers to share and access raw sequencing data.
  12. European Nucleotide Archive (ENA): A comprehensive public database of nucleotide sequences, including raw sequencing data, assembled genomes, and functional annotations.
  13. Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO): A public repository for gene expression data, including microarray and high-throughput sequencing data, supporting data sharing and reuse.
  14. PRIDE archive: A public repository for proteomics data, enabling researchers to share and access mass spectrometry data and related metadata.
