Hypothesis
How can we improve the integration of contextual data with sequence data in genomic studies?
Conclusion
CDinFusion is a web-based tool that successfully integrates contextual data with sequence data for submission to public repositories.
Supporting Evidence
- CDinFusion allows for the submission of enriched sequence data to INSDC.
- The tool is open source and available under the Lesser GNU Public License 3.
- CDinFusion has been tested with high-throughput data processing.
- It supports the integration of contextual data with sequence data for better analysis.
Takeaway
CDinFusion helps scientists combine important information about where and how they collected their DNA samples with the DNA sequences themselves, making it easier to share and analyze this data.
Methodology
CDinFusion processes single and MultiFASTA files, allowing users to upload sequences and enrich them with contextual data through web forms or CSV templates.
Limitations
The tool requires internet access for full functionality and may not support installations outside the Max Planck Institute.
