Request to include batch information for all datasets

I would like to request that you share all of the information you have on batches, such as batch ID, processing date, etc., for all omics datasets.

Currently, it is impossible to quantify the extent to which batch effects are impacting the data. Especially since controls, e.g. ERCC spike-ins, are not included in the data. This makes the datasets difficult to work with and, more importantly, trust.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. We don’t have batch information available, but sequencing date would work as an approximate. We are currently working on adding this information to metadata table OmicsProfiles.csv for this upcoming release.

Best,

Simone

Thank you @simz

I look forward to taking a look at the info in the next release!
