#PacbioToSRA This repo contains scripts, instructions, and examples on preparing PacBio sequence data for data submission to the SRA.

1. Register project and samples
2. Setup script's environment
3. Run the script
4. Update spreadsheet and email it to NCBI

##Step 1. Register project and samples

Go to https://submit.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and register your Bioproject
Go to https://submit.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ and register your Biosample

##Step 2. Prepare script's environment ####Setup virtual environment:

(go to the root directory of this repo)
$ virtualenv virtualenv_PacbioToSRA
$ source virtualenv_PacbioToSRA/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

##Step 3. Run the script ####Usage:

$ bin/pacb_ncbi --help
Usage: pacb_ncbi [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  calc_upload_size              Calculates the total size of the data that...

  create_excel_file_and_upload  Creates the Excel file that contains the...
  upload                        Uploads the datasets in the input.fofn file...

####Example:

$ bin/pacb_ncbi create_excel_file_and_upload -i /path/to/input.fofn -p bioproject1 -s biosample1 -x my_sra.xlsx -u ncbi_username -k /path/to/ssh/file

####Notes:

• NCBI_USERNAME is the username that ncbi assigns to your institution (get this from info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
• SSH _KEY _FILE is the ssh key file that you generated for your institution (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK180157/)
• To get additional help, type:
  $ bin/pacb_ncbi <subcommand> --help
  ex:
  $ bin/pacb_ncbi create_excel_file_and_upload --help
$ bin/pacb_ncbi create_excel_file --help
$ bin/pacb_ncbi upload --help

##Step 4. Update spreadsheet and email it to NCBI

• Update the spreadsheet with any additional information. The following columns must be filled in:
  • "SRA_data" sheet
    • title/short description
    • library_strategy
    • library_source
    • library_selection
    • library_layout
• Email (info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and attach the spreadsheet to the email.
