The three INSDC members (ENA\, NCBI-SRA and DDBJ-SRA ) routinely exchange data which ensures nucleotide data is archived and sh ared across geographically dispersed locations (Europe\, USA and Japan). T he ENA is provided by EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute\, EMBL-EB I.\n\nENA team members Dr Joana Pauperio and Maira Ihsan will deliver a se ries of related workshops on submitting raw read sequencing\, Metagenome-A ssembled Genome (MAG)\, environmental DNA (eDNA) and genome assembly and a nnotation data to ENA.*\n\nEach workshop will begin with an introduction t o the ENA data and metadata model. You will then be guided through hands-o n exercises using example data sets to practice data submission via one of three submission routes:\n\nInteractive web-based submission: these are c ompleted by filling out web forms in your browser and downloading template spreadsheets that can be completed off-line and uploaded to ENA. \nComm and-line based submission: Data submissions of this type are completed via the command line using ENA's bespoke Webin-CLI program. This validates yo ur submissions entirely before you complete them\, allowing you maximum co ntrol of the process. Webin-CLI is the only way to submit assembled genome s and transcriptomes. \nProgrammatic submission: these are completed by pr eparing your submissions as XML/JSON documents and either sending them to ENA using a program such as cURL or using ENA's Webin Portal.\n\n*This ser ies is designed with flexibility in mind. You can apply to attend one or m ore workshops \\- choose the workshop(s) most relevant to you.*\n\n| Date/ Time | Workshop title| Dataset | Submission route |\n| ----- | ----- | --- -- | ----- |\n| 25 March 2025 1 \\- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting raw read sequen cing data using interactive web-based tools | Raw reads | Interactive web- based submission |\n| 26 March 2025 1 \\- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting raw read sequencing data using programmatic tools | Raw reads | Programmatic submis sion |\n| 27 March 2025 1 \\- 3 pm AEDT | Submitting raw-read sequencing d ata using command line based tools | Raw reads | Command-line submission | \n| 31 March 2025 1 \\- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting genome assembly and annotat ion data using the command line | Genome assembly and annotation data | Co mmand-line submission |\n| 1 April 2025 1 \\- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting Metag enome-Assembled Genome (MAG) data to ENA and MGNify using the command line | Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MAG) | Command-line submission |\n| 2 Apri l 2025 1 \\- 4 pm AEDT | Submitting environmental DNA (eDNA) data | Enviro nmental DNA (eDNA) | Multiple methods in development |\n\n**Learning outco mes:**\n\nBy the end of each workshop you should be able to:\n\n* Identify the importance of data sharing \n* Outline the purpose of the ENA \n* E xplain the ENA Metadata Model and the importance of metadata \n* Describe the data submission routes at the ENA \n* Identify the range of tools and services offered by the ENA for data submission \n* Submit the demonstra ted data type using the ENA submission route shown in the workshop(s) you attend\n\n**Location:** Online via Zoom.\n\n**Date/Time:** 25 March to 3 A pril 2025\\.
