ISA software suite: supporting standards-compliant experimental annotation and enabling curation at the community level

Philippe Rocca-Serra et al. Bioinformatics. .

Abstract

The first open source software suite for experimentalists and curators that (i) assists in the annotation and local management of experimental metadata from high-throughput studies employing one or a combination of omics and other technologies; (ii) empowers users to uptake community-defined checklists and ontologies; and (iii) facilitates submission to international public repositories.

Availability and implementation: Software, documentation, case studies and implementations at http://www.isa-tools.org.
