ENA Reads & Assembly Submission Workflow
Originally developed within the EVORA project, this two-step Galaxy workflow streamlines submissions to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA). The workflow first submits raw sequencing reads via the Galaxy ENA upload tool, then submits assembled sequences using the Galaxy ENA Webin CLI tool. The process is fully interactive and GUI-driven while retaining ENA’s required validations leveraging the user-scoped credential management system and the data upload/management from Galaxy.
Step 1 — Raw reads: Galaxy ENA upload tool
A Galaxy wrapper around the ENA-upload-cli that brings a graphical interface and interactive checks to standard ENA read submissions.
Key features
- Raw read submission with ENA-upload-cli at its core
- Use tabular or excel sheet templates to easily capture the metadata
- Client side validation using ENA checklists
- Create, add, and modify ENA objects (e.g., studies, experiments, samples, runs)
Step 2 — Consensus sequences: Galaxy ENA Webin CLI
A Galaxy wrapper around ENA’s Webin-CLI for interactive submission of consensus sequences, with full checklist coverage.
Key features
- Seamless integration with the Galaxy ENA upload tool to fetch and reuse metadata
- Interactive metadata submission and validation
- Support for all assembly levels (contig, scaffold and chromosome)
