Medna-metadata: an open-source data management system for tracking environmental DNA samples and metadata.

ABSTRACT:

Motivation

Environmental DNA (eDNA), as a rapidly expanding research field, stands to benefit from shared resources including sampling protocols, study designs, discovered sequences, and taxonomic assignments to sequences. High-quality community shareable eDNA resources rely heavily on comprehensive metadata documentation that captures the complex workflows covering field sampling, molecular biology lab work, and bioinformatic analyses. There are limited sources that provide documentation of database development on comprehensive metadata for eDNA and these workflows and no open-source software.

Results

We present medna-metadata, an open-source, modular system that aligns with Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable guiding principles that support scholarly data reu
