Submit data

The i5k Workspace@NAL accepts user-submitted content. Currently, all of our projects and datasets are user-submitted.

  • Learn more about the data types we accept, and how to submit them: Data submission overview
  • If you'd like to submit data, please contact i5k@ars.usda.gov with the following information:

    • The genus and species of the organism the data was generated from
    • For genome assemblies: the NCBI GenBank or RefSeq accession number for the genome assembly
    • For genome annotations and mapped datasets: a brief description of the dataset you'd like to submit. Including associated NCBI accession numbers helps (e.g. SRR accessions for RNA-Seq)
  • Mapped RNA-Seq datasets are very useful for manual annotation. We are transitioning towards a process to map RNA-Seq for you. Contact i5k@ars.usda.gov if you are interested. If you'd rather generate your own, please see our FAQ page about how to map and submit RNA-Seq:  FAQ on mapped RNA-Seq
