For active studies pre-dating this new system, curators will work with you to update your files, so that this automated check can be run. This system will provide feedback within a few days of submission for IDs errors and inconsistences between PLINK, VCFs, Subject Consent, SSM, and Pedigree datasets (DS). Automated Preprocessing Validation Checks are being run on all studies submitting PLINK or VCF files.The study config can now be filled out online in your study's Submission Portal.We are offering pre-validation tools for you to check your data before submitting to dbGaP on your system using GaPTools (February 2021).High throughput sequence metadata should now be uploaded to the dbGaP Submission Portal under section "Sequence metadata" instead of through email.


There are updated guidance and templates to link subject/sample IDs to samples in NCBI databases: GEO, GenBank, SRA.A new Subject Sample Telemetry Report (SSTR) webpage and API are available to search and filter on study level Subject and Sample IDs, consents, summary counts, processing status, and molecular and sequence sample uses.Review "How to Submit" -> Register study -> Prepare files for submission -> Check files before submission -> Submit -> dbGaP curators process -> Receive signal and submit high throughput sequences: BAM, CRAM, FASTQ -> Preview and Approve -> Release Submission Onboarding
