Subjects & Samples

Subjects are the patients behind your data; samples are the physical specimen taken from them. This section covers everything from creating a subject through uploading data files.

In this section

• Creating subjects — register a new clinical subject and capture their properties.
• Creating samples — register a sample under a subject; link sample properties to downstream analysis behaviour.
• Uploading data files — push FASTQ, BAM, VCF into the project bucket via the sample's file section.
