Anyone know how to submit “metabarcoding”/amplicon sequencing data to ENA? I presume I should set an “environmental” taxon - e.g.

plant metagenome

? Do I need to submit demultiplexed data?

Calling @Martin Beracochea @Evangelos Karatzas who will know who to ask But to my knowledge yes to the taxon, and yes demultiplexed but only adapter removed (no further processing)

@Jim Downie hi! I think you can use general ENA instructions how to submit reads. Example of metaB https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ena/browser/view/SRR27974960. Set correctly library layout, strategy and source ☝️ Pick taxon depending on your data. What is your data about? I think the recommendation is to demultiplex, yes

Thanks, that's a really helpful example! I have 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing data from various plant tissues that I need to submit.
