Supporting data for "*-DCC: A platform to collect, annotate and explore a large variety of sequencing experiments"

Over the last few years the variety of experimental designs and protocols for sequencing experiments increased greatly. To assure the wide usability of the produced data beyond an individual project, rich and systematic annotation of the underlying experiments is of outstanding importance. <br>We first developed an annotation structure which captures the overall experimental design as well as the relevant details of the steps from the biological sample to the library preparation, the sequencing procedure and to the sequencing and processed files. Through various design features, such as controlled vocabularies and different field requirements, we ensured a high annotation quality, comparability and ease of annotation. The structure can be easily adapted to a large variety of species. We then implemented the annotation strategy in a user-hosted web-platform with data import, query and export functionality. <br>We present here an annotation structure and user-hosted platform for sequencing experiment data, suitable for lab-internal documentation, collaborations and large-scale annotation efforts.
