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

MetadataSample_SampleID

Unique identifier for the biological sample.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_BioReplicate

Biological replicate identifier. Biological replicates are parallel measurements of biologically distinct samples that capture random biological variation.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_CondReplicate

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.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_TechReplicate

Technical replicate identifier.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_Clone

Clone or isolate identifier.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_LibraryID

Source library or collection identifier (e.g. a deletion collection).

Identity / design

MetadataSample_SourcePlate

Identifier of the source plate the sample was pinned from.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_SourceWell

Well position on the source plate (e.g. A1). This can potentially be distinct from Grid values when using irregular or sparse grid parameters.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_Barcode

Molecular or sample barcode.

Identity / design

MetadataSample_Control

Control designation (e.g. positive, negative, blank).
