NCBI SRA Link To Biosample

Overview

Link SRA sequencing runs to their associated BioSample records to access biological sample metadata including sample attributes, tissue type, cell line, treatment conditions, donor information, and collection details. BioSample provides rich contextual information about the biological specimens used in sequencing experiments. Essential for understanding experimental context and sample provenance. Returns BioSample UIDs which can be used with NCBI BioSample API to retrieve detailed sample metadata. Works with SRA UIDs from NCBI_SRA_search_runs.
