We do not possess a full-blown LIMS and hope the Seqera Platform could provide some necessary dataset management features. The Datasets file management seems like a step in that direction, but we'd need to be able to search by field, automate dataset creation/deletion and map
sequencing runs
to
samples
. Specifically, we want to:
  • Organize datasets by project (hierarchical or by label).
  • Link from datasets to analysis runs on that data.
  • A way to associate metadata (a location or a reference ID to another database) with a dataset as a whole, rather than each line inside the CSV file, and then manage that through the CLI/API and use it in a Nextflow pipeline run.
