GENETIC_METADATA
================

Python object: ``phenotypic.schema._experimental_tags._genetic.GENETIC_METADATA``

Recommended ``Metadata_*`` tags describing the organism and its genetics.

These name the genetic identity of the colonies on a plate (species, strain,
genotype, markers). Like all experimental-tag enums they share the
``Metadata_`` namespace, so members render as ``Metadata_<Label>`` (e.g.
``Metadata_Strain``) and slot directly into the ``--metadata`` CSV join and the
``post/`` metadata operations. This is a recommended vocabulary, not a validator:
arbitrary metadata columns are still accepted.

   * - Column label
     - Description
   * - ``Metadata_Organism``
     - Species or organism name (e.g. Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
   * - ``Metadata_Strain``
     - Strain name or identifier (e.g. BY4741).
   * - ``Metadata_Genotype``
     - Genotype description of the strain.
   * - ``Metadata_Background``
     - Genetic background or parent strain.
   * - ``Metadata_Allele``
     - Specific allele or mutation under study.
   * - ``Metadata_Plasmid``
     - Plasmid carried by the sample.
   * - ``Metadata_SelectionMarker``
     - Selectable marker gene (e.g. URA3, KanMX).
   * - ``Metadata_MatingType``
