Basic information
*Project title Short descriptive name of the project such as a phrase or short sentence for public display.  
Project name A short name for the study.  
*Public description A brief description to elaborate upon the brief label.  
Relevance The primary general relevance of the project. [“Agricultural”, “Medical”, “Industrial”, “Environmental”, “Evolution”, “Model organism”, “Other”]
*Functional annotation You are asked if the project will contain functional annotation. If yes, then a unique locus tag prefix will be created. [“Yes”,”No”]
Locus tag prefix
Locus tag prefixes are only associated to studies providing functional genome annotation.
A locus tag prefix must have the following format:
- starts with a letter
- is at least 3 characters long
- is upper case
- contains only alpha-numeric characters and no symbols such as -_*
Separate multiple prefixes with a comma. Locus tags can be added but existing locus tags cannot be removed or edited.

Project type  
*Project data type A general label indicating the primary study goal.  
*Sample scope
The scope and purity of the biological sample used for the study.
Choose Multiisolate as the Scope when the goal of the research is to compare multiple individuals or strains of the same species, eg, in a “Variation” or “Genome sequencing and assembly” project.
Choose Multispecies when different species are being examined.
Choose Monoisolate if the goal is to make a single genome or transcriptome assembly, even if more than one individual was the source of the DNA or RNA.
