Can I use Pluto to submit my data to GEO?

Yes! Pluto automatically prepares submissions to public data repositories for you

Many scientific journals require that you submit your data to the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and Sequence Read Archive (SRA) prior to publication. Pulling the data together for one of these submissions can be a tedious process to tackle on your own, but Pluto makes it easy!

Submitting data to GEO from Pluto

When you are ready to initiate a new submission, first navigate to the Workflow tab of your experiment:

Scroll down to the Other connectors section to start a new draft GEO submission:

You'll be asked to answer a few simple questions about your experiment, including when you'd like the submission to become public, and who you'd like to be listed as co-authors on the submission.

Note: you have full control over which data is submitted and when it will be made publicly available. You will be prompted to approve the final submission before any files are transferred.

Pluto will handle preparing the submission and any back-and-forth communication with GEO. Once approved by GEO, you'll receive an email from Pluto notifying you that your submission has been approved!
