Abstract

A global international initiative, such as the Earth BioGenome Project (EBP), requires both agreement and coordination on standards to ensure that the collective effort generates rapid progress toward its goals. To this end, the EBP initiated five technical standards committees comprising volunteer members from the global genomics scientific community: Sample Collection and Processing, Sequencing and Assembly, Annotation, Analysis, and IT and Informatics. The current versions of the resulting standards documents are available on the EBP website, with the recognition that opportunities, technologies, and challenges may improve or change in the future, requiring flexibility for the EBP to meet its goals. Here, we describe some highlights from the proposed standards, and areas where additional challenges will need to be met.

Statistics

Figures

Fig. 1. An example of the documentation that should occur as a sample is being processed. The SPECIMEN_ID (the Natural History Museum, London [NHMUK] barcode under the fly) is photographed alongside the specimen and the barcoded tubes into which different samples of that specimen will be placed. The metadata tracking sheet would have three entries for this fly, where collection-related information would be identical, but tissue type and tissue size would vary (e.g., head, thorax, and abdomen, each in a separate tube).

Fig. 2. Recommended EBP INSDC assembly BioProject submission structure. Alternatives on this theme could include maternal assembly and paternal assembly at the DataBioProject levels, when complete genome assemblies are generated for both haplotypes of a diploid sexually reproducing species. “Your Project” represents a project sequencing multiple genomes, such as the VGP or DToL.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
