Tree of Life Profile

In COPO, a Tree of Life (ToL) [1] work profile [2] is required to submit research objects [3] such as samples, barcoding manifests, sequence annotations, reads, assemblies and files.

A ToL profile can be used to create one of the following biodiversity projects:

  • Aquatic Symbiosis Genomics (ASG)

  • European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA)

  • Darwin Tree of Life Environmental (DTOL_ENV)

  • Darwin Tree of Life (DTOL)



Steps to Create a Tree of Life Profile

  1. Click the add-profile-button Add new record icon to view the Add Profile form

    Add new profile record button

    ToL Profile: Add new profile record icon

  2. Contact COPO via email dialogue is displayed indicating that the user is not a member of any manifest group and that the user must make a request to be added to a manifest group to make ToL manifest submissions if the user would like to do so.

    Click Okay to close the dialogue.

    Contact COPO dialogue

    ToL Profile: Contact COPO dialogue is displayed regarding getting access to make ToL manifest submissions

Provide Profile Title & Description

  1. In the Add Profile form dialogue, provide details for the new profile then, click Save

    Note

    The Profile Type dropdown menu by default will only display the Stand-alone option.

    If your desired profile type is not displayed in the Profile Type dropdown menu, indicating the type of profile group that you would like to be granted access to. Thereafter, the desired profile type option will be displayed in the dropdown menu.

    Add profile form

    ToL Profile: Add profile form dialogue


    Hint

    Both profile Title and profile Description are mandatory form fields.

    Meaningful field values are recommended in the form boxes because the information will appear in submissions of the research objects associated with the profile, in public remote repositories.

Choose Profile Type

Choose profile type on add profile form

ToL Profile form: Choose profile type


If you request to be added to any of the profile types displayed (excluding the default Stand-alone profile type), only that profile type will be listed in the Profile type dropdown menu.


Choose Associated Profile Type(s) (if required)

Note

The Associated Profile Type dropdown menu will only display if the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) profile type is selected.

  • More than one associated type also known as subproject or child project can be chosen.

    Choose associated profile type or subproject on add profile form

    ASG Profile Type: Choose associated profile type or a subproject [4]


    OR


    Choose associated profile type or subproject on add profile form

    DTOL Profile Type: Choose associated profile type or a subproject [5]


    OR


    Choose associated profile type or subproject on add profile form

    ERGA Profile Type: Choose associated profile type or a subproject [6]


Choose Sequencing Centre (if required)

Note

The Sequencing Centre dropdown menu will only display if the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) profile type is selected.

Choose sequencing centre on add profile form

ERGA Profile Type: Choose sequencing centre


Profile created

  1. The new profile will be displayed in the Profile list

    Tree of Life profile created

    ToL Profile: ‘Work Profiles’ web page displaying the created profile


    Hint

    The list of profiles or profile records on the Work Profiles web page can be sorted by date created, profile title or profile type.

    Choose the desired sort type from the Sort by dropdown menu (at the top-right of the profile record).

    See more information in the Sorting Profiles section.

The following component types are currently defined:

  1. Accessions

  2. Assembly

  3. Barcoding manifests

  4. Files

  5. Reads

  6. Samples

  7. Sequence Annotations
