Stand-alone Profile

In COPO, a Stand-alone work profile [1] is required to submit research objects [2] such as files, reads, assemblies and sequence annotations.

Hint

COPO work profiles are regarded as project research objects. The projects are created in ENA [3] after reads have been submitted. Thus, any modifications that you would like to be done to a project in ENA must be done to the desired profile in COPO.

Stand-alone Profile Components

  • Component instances defined within a profile will only be visible within that profile [1].

  • To access a component within a profile, click the component button displayed within the popup after the profile-components-button button was clicked (see the screenshot above).

  • Profile actions [4] can be accessed via the profile-actions-button button. The actions describe the process of each component within a profile.

Submitting Virtual Samples

Please follow the steps below to submit virtual samples [5]:

  1. Create a Stand-alone profile or select an existing one. See Steps to create a Stand-alone profile.

  2. Submit reads to the Stand-alone profile. See Submitting Reads section.

    Important

    • Files must be uploaded before reads submission can be made.

    • Reads submission is required before making a virtual sample submission.

  3. All virtual sample submissions require a description.

    Provide the virtual sample description to the as well as the (completed) reads manifest file. COPO will add the sample description in ENA [3].

Hint

Accessions are available a few minutes after reads have been submitted.
