Change release date of SRA data and associated Project and Samples
A BioProject is an umbrella for all data submitted to the NCBI for a given study. Each BioProject can be associated with more than one submission in SRA.
You can change the release date of
an unreleased BioProject in the Submission Portal's SRA Data Interface.
Changing the release date for the BioProject results in changing the release date of
all associated BioSamples and SRA data across submissions (if data for this Bioproject were deposited in more than one submission).
Changing release date of BioProject in the Submission Portal SRA Data Interface
- Log into the Submission Portal's SRA Data Interface
- Find BioProject of interest by browsing, searching, or filtering all your data
Figure 1: Find BioProject in the SRA Data Interface
- Click the BioProject Accession (PRJNA#) to display the BioProject page and click the button Edit
Figure 2: BioProject page in the Submission Portal SRA Data Interface
- On the pop-up menu, select either Release immediately or Release on specified date
(this will open a calendar widget); click Next
- Provide additional accession numbers for any GenBank data for which you would like to change the release date (optional);
click Submit
It may take up to 3 days for your submission to be searchable in Entrez. However, it will become public and searchable
almost immediately in SRA Run Selector.
If you need to release parts of the data
at different times or if the BioProject is already public, please contact SRA staff for assistance at sra@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.Email sra@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov for help.
