Pass Through Dataset Types
What are they?
“Pass Throughs” are Dataset Types/Assays that are not yet widely adopted within biomedical research. These may include newly available industry assays or new assays developed by consortia TDAs for which a lab wishes to publish data, often to support a publication.
Given their lack of widespread adoption, the decision was made that the consortia would publish these datasets with a streamlined set of metadata and simplified directory structures, thereby simplifying the publishing process.
Note: Unlike most other dataset types, Pass Throughs are not processed by the HIVE (HuBMAP) or CODCC (SenNet) prior to publication.
Current examples
- DBiT-seq
- See example metadata and directory schemas for this Pass Through dataset type
- Stereo-seq
- Singular Genomics G4X
Publishing a Pass Through Dataset Type
If you have data that may be appropriate for publishing as a Pass Through, please contact the appropriate Help Desk and provide the following information:
- Assay Name
- Assay Type (e.g., Spatial Transcriptomics)
- Existing assay metadata schema that most closely mirrors your assay
- Anticipated number of datasets to be published
- Needed to support publication? (Y/N)
- TMC/TDA Name
- Contact person and email
