Data submission to BioStudies using Annotare

Up to now, MODIS has been publishing sequencing data to ArrayExpress (now part of the EBI's BioStudies) through the Annotare service either using their Annotare user interface (mainly for short single cell studies) or by sharing the data as a MAGE-TAB document (larger studies i.e. more than e.g. 10 samples). As of 1st Apr. 2025, the MAGE-TAB submission route is no longer accepted by EBI's Annotare service. As a result, sequencing data will be submitted to ENA by default. Data submission using the Annotare User Interface remains an option for smaller studies.

After you exported the study as a MAGE-TAB document using the command line client, and made sure everything is correct, you can log in Annotare and use the MAGE-TAB document to copy-paste information in the Annotare.

The generation of a MAGE-TAB document is explained in the ENA section and requires that you first prepare your data in LabID as explained in the Data Preparation section.

The data files can be uploaded using the Annotare instructions.
