MInAS Combinations

Version

The current version is: v0.0.2.

Warning

This can be considered a pre-alpha version, and has not been reviewed nor approved by the wider palaeogenomics community nor by the Genomics Standards Consortium.

The following submission combinations have been proposed by the SPAAM community to act as starting points for discussions. Not all types of ancient DNA research will currently be covered here, however the sub-fields should cover the vast majority of current research in the field. As the MInAS project develops, these default minimum-information submission combinations will be extended to include other areas.

All MInAS submission combinations will include the Ancient extension.
