*Sample scope

  • Definition:

    The scope and purity of the biological sample used for the study.
    Choose Multiisolate as the Scope when the goal of the research is to compare multiple individuals or strains of the same species, e.g., in a “Variation” or “Genome sequencing and assembly” project.
    Choose Multispecies when different species are being examined.
    Choose Monoisolate if the goal is to make a single genome or transcriptome assembly, even if more than one individual was the source of the DNA or RNA.
