What problem does it solve?
Researchers and curators must create highly accurate SDRF files for proteomics datasets, a process that involves complex template selection, ontology term lookup, and detailed technical metadata extraction from PRIDE and raw files.
Core Features & Use Cases
- End‑to‑end workflow: Guides users from PXD accession or experiment description through template selection, sample and technical metadata collection, file‑sample mapping, and validation.
- Ontology integration: Searches OLS for precise organism, disease, cell type, and modification terms, ensuring compliance with SDRF standards.
- Automated validation: Generates a temporary SDRF file and runs
parse_sdrf validation against selected templates, fixing errors before delivery.
- Community contribution: Offers optional steps to submit the final SDRF back to the proteomics‑sample‑metadata repository.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to create an SDRF for a ProteomeXchange dataset by providing its PXD identifier, e.g., “Create an SDRF for PXD012345”.
