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.

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)
  • Anticipated number of datasets to be published
  • Needed to support publication? (Y/N)
  • TMC/TDA Name
  • Contact person and email
