      How do I import from a supported repository?

      How to import from GEO, SRA, dbGaP, protocols.io, Add Gene, ATCC, Jackson Laboratory, and ZIRC.

      After providing the Team and Grant ID, you can select which repository you would like to import from. The form varies for each repository, and you can find details about the information required below.

      For more details on selecting Team and Grant information see: Importing Resources

      Importing from a fully supported repository

      To import from one of the fully supported repositories, all you need is a URL or an accession ID . 

      Accepted formats for each of the repositories are listed below:

      GEO

      Accession ID

      The portal accepts accessions prefixed with following :

      • GSE. For example: GSE24542
      • GSM. For example: GSM609241

      URL

      The portal also accepts a link to the dataset page on GEO.

      For example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSM609241

      SRA 

      Accession ID

      The portal accepts accessions prefixed with following :

      • SRR. For example: SRR944283 

      URL

      The portal also accepts a link to the dataset page on ArrayExpress.

      For example: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/SRP003819

      Protocols.io

      For protocols.io we accept only a DOI for the protocol. You can find this format on the top of the protocol page, next to the `Works for me` badge.

      For example: dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.bj64krgw
