Warning
If you are submitting a Reads manifest that includes the column, Sample, please ensure that the sample alias
(i.e. sample name or accession number) is accurate. Once submitted, the value cannot be changed. Reads
uploaded to COPO will also be sent to ENA.
This is important because the Sample column serves as the key for each row in the Reads manifest. Each
unique sample in the manifest corresponds to a different biosample.
