5.1 Input the sample information to the tracking database

After logging into the tracking database, users can upload the list of samples to be processed into the database using the command below:

curl -sS -d project_id=${project_id} -d sample_name=${sample_name} -d project_desc=${project_desc} -d subject_name=${subject_name} -d LSAC=${LSAC} -d seq_type=${seq_type} "http://IP/v1/projects/sample/add"

where

a) project_id: this is the project ID outputted by Section 3.2

b) sample_name: sample name (note this needs to match the sample name of the input file in the S3 bucket)

c) project_desc: project description

d) subject_name (optional): individual subject's ID

e) LSAC: data source (optional, i.e. where the samples are being sequenced) e.g. Large-Scale Genome Sequencing and Analysis Centers

f) seq_type: whole genome sequencing / whole exome sequencing
