Submission Overview

Submission of research data from human subjects: For submitting data from human subjects (human data) to the databases of DDBJ center, it is submitter’s responsibility to ensure that the dignity and right of human subject are protected in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances, guidelines and policies of submitter’s institution. In principle, make sure to remove any direct personal identifiers of human subjects from your data to be submitted. Before submitting human data, read the “Submission of research data from human subjects”

GEA accepts all functional genomics data generated from microarray or next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms. Regarding how to submit data, please refer to Submission navigation.

Accession numbers

Experiments and Array designs in GEA are assigned unique accession numbers (n is a number).

E-GEAD-n for experiments
A-GEAD-n for array designs

Data release

The data can be kept private until your paper is published. You can set the hold date for a maximum of 4 years and can change it. Registered records are released according to the Data Release Policy.

FAQ: How to request data release?

Reviewer access

Submitters are able to generate an access token for journal reviewers after a pre-published experiment or array design is loaded into the GEA database. For instructions, see reviewer accesss page for how to obtain an access token and communicate it to journal editors and reviewers.

Update

After submitting data to GEA, please contact us to update or withdraw your data.
