Genome Sequence Archive

GSA is a data repository specialized for archiving raw sequence reads. It supports data generated from a variety of sequencing platforms ranging from Sanger sequencing machines to single-cell sequencing machines and provides data storing and sharing services free of charge for worldwide scientific communities. In addition to raw sequencing data, GSA also accommodates secondary analyzed files in acceptable formats (like BAM, VCF). Its user-friendly web interfaces simplify data entry and submitted data are roughly organized as two parts, viz., Metadata and File, where the former can be further assorted into BioProject, BioSample, Experiment and Run, and the latter contains raw sequence reads.

GSA（基因组序列存档）是一个专门用于存档原始序列读数的数据库。该系统支持从Sanger测序仪到单细胞测序仪等多样化的测序平台生成数据，并免费为全球科学界提供数据存储和共享服务。除了原始测序数据外，GSA还兼容诸如BAM、VCF等可接受格式的二次分析文件。其用户友好的网页界面简化了数据录入过程，提交的数据大致分为两部分，即元数据和文件，其中前者可进一步细分为BioProject、BioSample、Experiment和Run等类别，而后者则包含原始序列读数。
