How to submit the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) data in NCBI

Sequence Read Archive (SRA) data, available through multiple cloud providers and NCBI servers, is the largest publicly available repository of high throughput sequencing data. The archive accepts data from all branches of life as well as metagenomic and environmental surveys. SRA stores raw sequencing data and alignment information to enhance reproducibility and facilitate new discoveries through data analysis.

The Submission Portal provides convenient web wizards for data submission to the SRA as well as to other NCBI databases and an interface for reviewing and editing some of the metadata. After initial data validation, SP facilitates deposition of the data into target databases, such as the SRA. Submission Portal Home page: https://submit.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.

The SRA database (and other NCBI databases) receives the data, performs additional validation and may return error messages reflected in SP's interface. After that, the databases store the data that are accessible by various tools. For the SRA, please refer to the Download guide.
