DatatypeNot PIIidentifierDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Accession of an object in the sequence read archives of NCBI (SRA), EMBL-EBI (ENA) and DDBJ, which store raw data from high-throughput sequencing. The first letter is S, E or D after the archive that issued it, the second is R, and the third gives the kind of object, for example X for an experiment, R for a run and S for a sample. Digits follow. Studies and samples also have BioProject and BioSample accessions, which are separate datatypes.
