SAMPLE_METADATA#
Python object: phenotypic.schema._experimental_tags._sample.SAMPLE_METADATA
Recommended MetadataSample_* tags identifying a sample and its provenance.
These distinguish individual biological samples and track where each colony came
from (replicate, clone, source plate/well, library). Members render as
MetadataSample_<Label> (e.g. MetadataSample_BioReplicate) in the
Metadata column family shared with the other experimental-tag enums.
Recommended vocabulary, not a validator: arbitrary metadata columns are still
accepted.
Column label |
Description |
Type |
|---|---|---|
|
Unique identifier for the biological sample. |
|
|
Biological replicate identifier. Biological replicates are parallel measurements of biologically distinct samples that capture random biological variation. |
|
|
Experimental Conditional replicate identifier. An example of an experimental replicate would be a pinned colony of the same strain on another plate being subjected to the same conditions. |
|
|
Technical replicate identifier. |
|
|
Clone or isolate identifier. |
|
|
Source library or collection identifier (e.g. a deletion collection). |
|
|
Identifier of the source plate the sample was pinned from. |
|
|
Well position on the source plate (e.g. A1). This can potentially be distinct from Grid values when using irregular or sparse grid parameters. |
|
|
Molecular or sample barcode. |
|
|
Control designation (e.g. positive, negative, blank). |
