Slide-seq Metadata Attributes

Fields that are collected for Slide-seq data, available at dataset.metadata.<attribute>  

* indicates a required field

Attribute Type Description Allowable Values
version * Version of the schema to use when validating this metadata. '1'
description Free-text description of this assay.  
donor_id HuBMAP Display ID of the donor of the assayed tissue.  
tissue_id HuBMAP Display ID of the assayed tissue.  
execution_datetime Start date and time of assay, typically a date-time stamped folder generated by the acquisition instrument. YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm, where YYYY is the year, MM is the month with leading 0s, and DD is the day with leading 0s, hh is the hour with leading zeros, mm are the minutes with leading zeros.  
protocols_io_doi DOI for protocols.io referring to the protocol for this assay.  
operator Name of the person responsible for executing the assay.  
operator_email Email address for the operator.  
pi Name of the principal investigator responsible for the data.  
pi_email Email address for the principal investigator.  
assay_category Each assay is placed into one of the following 4 general categories: generation of images of microscopic entities, identification & quantitation of molecules by mass spectrometry, imaging mass spectrometry, and determination of nucleotide sequence. 'sequence'
assay_type The specific type of assay being executed. 'Slide-seq'
analyte_class Analytes are the target molecules being measured with the assay. 'RNA'
is_targeted Specifies whether or not a specific molecule(s) is/are targeted for detection/measurement by the assay. 'Yes' 'No'
acquisition_instrument_vendor An acquisition instrument is the device that contains the signal detection hardware and signal processing software. Assays generate signals such as light of various intensities or color or signals representing the molecular mass.  
acquisition_instrument_model Manufacturers of an acquisition instrument may offer various versions (models) of that instrument with different features or sensitivities. Differences in features or sensitivities may be relevant to processing or interpretation of the data.  
rnaseq_assay_method The kit used for the RNA sequencing assay  
library_construction_protocols_io_doi A link to the protocol document containing the library construction method (including version) that was used, e.g. “Smart-Seq2”, “Drop-Seq”, “10X v3”.  
library_layout State whether the library was generated for single-end or paired end sequencing. 'single-end' 'paired-end'
library_adapter_sequence Adapter sequence to be used for adapter trimming  
puck_id Slide-seq captures RNA sequence data on spatially barcoded arrays of beads. Beads are fixed to a slide in a region shaped like a round puck. Each puck has a unique puck_id.  
is_technical_replicate Is the sequencing reaction run in repliucate, TRUE or FALSE 'Yes' 'No'
bead_barcode_read Which read file contains the bead barcode  
bead_barcode_offset Position(s) in the read at which the bead barcode starts  
bead_barcode_size Length of the bead barcode in base pairs  
library_pcr_cycles Number of PCR cycles to amplify cDNA  
library_pcr_cycles_for_sample_index Number of PCR cycles performed for library indexing  
library_final_yield_value Total number of ng of library after final pcr amplification step. This is the concentration (ng/ul) * volume (ul)  
library_final_yield_unit Units of final library yield 'ng'
library_average_fragment_size * Average size in basepairs (bp) of sequencing library fragments estimated via gel electrophoresis or bioanalyzer/tapestation.  
sequencing_reagent_kit Reagent kit used for sequencing  
sequencing_read_format Slash-delimited list of the number of sequencing cycles for, for example, Read1, i7 index, i5 index, and Read2.  
sequencing_read_percent_q30 Q30 is the weighted average of all the reads (e.g. # bases UMI * q30 UMI + # bases R2 * q30 R2 + …)  
sequencing_phix_percent Percent PhiX loaded to the run  
contributors_path Relative path to file with ORCID IDs for contributors for this dataset.  
data_path Relative path to file or directory with instrument data. Downstream processing will depend on filename extension conventions.
