Library

Each entry denotes one library, even if multiple aliquots are made and sequenced at different times. A library means something with Illumina sequencing primers, indices or barcodes as needed, and ready to pool and put into a lane.

Name Type Required
s2cDNASampleNumber int Yes (Foreign Key)
libraryDate datetime Yes (Primary Key)
libraryPreparer string Yes
libraryObservations string Yes
index1Sequence string Yes
libraryProtocol string Yes
index1Name string Yes
index2Name string Yes
index2Sequence string Yes
roboticLibraryPrep boolean Yes

s2cDNASampleNumber

Foreign key to s2 table

libraryDate

The date (e.g. 05.17.20) on which the sequencing library was prepared and ready for use. Provide the date when the library was completed. See general specifications for format details.

libraryPreparer

Name (e.g. M.BRENT) of the person who was in charge of the sequencing library preparation. If more than one person was involved, just pick one. See general specifications for format details.

librarySampleNumber

Sequential positive integers uniquely identifying the libraries prepared by a given preparer on a given date.

index1Name

E.g. “Index1_2”.

index1Sequence

The sequence of index one (all caps), used to help distinguish samples pooled into a single lane. “NA” if no indices are used.

index2Name

  • SIC_Index2_06
  • universal

index2Sequence

The sequence of index two (all caps), used to help distinguish samples pooled into a single lane. “NA” if zero or one indices are used.

libraryProtocol

Use only the first part of the descrition below, eg E7420L. Datatype must be a single string of letters with no whitespace.

  • SolexaPrep - homebrew kit used prior to 10-25-2015 (best current estimate)
  • E7420L - NEBNext Ultra Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina
  • If a concentration other than typical is used, list it as such: E7420L_0.5X
  • E7760L - NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina

roboticLibraryPrep

“True” (with that capitalization) if the robot was used, “False” if not.
