Preparing data

FEGA Sweden follows the metadata model and overall submission framework of the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA). Relevant data types may for example include:

We may also be able to receive other types of data than those listed above. If your submission includes other data types, we recommend that you contact the FEGA Sweden Helpdesk before you begin your submission.

You can visit the EGA website to learn more about how to prepare files for the different data types.

One or multiple datasets?

Access to data in FEGA Sweden is given at the dataset level, which means that all files in a dataset must share the same release conditions. To maximise data reuse, delimit your datasets so that as many researchers as possible will find them usable. Try to think of what restrictions potential users of your data might have. For example, a cancer researcher may be restricted by her ethical permit to only do research on certain cancer types. If a dataset she is interested in also contains data about other cancer diagnoses, she may not have the right to access it.
