We suggest attaching a formatted raw dataset to your publications as a supplementary file / table. A blank template is available in this repository in .xlsx format. If you share your data using the COMET template, you can also send it to us directly for inclusion in the (currently under construction) COMET database.
Please cite the manuscript as: VY Wu, B Chen, R Christofferson, G Ebel, AC Fagre, E Gallichotte, AR Sweeny, CJ Carlson, SJ Ryan. (2022) A minimum data standard for vector competence experiments. Scientific Data DOI: 10.1038/s41597-022-01741-4
- added a locked definitions tab providing more detailed information of each column
- added a study naming section
- Study (Last name, et al. Year Journal)
- PMID (PubMed ID)
- DOI (Digital object identifier)
- add two new virus sections
- Infectious clone / recombinant
- Wildtype vs mutant
- added new sections in infection
- changed temp (reared) and temp (EIT) to mean temperature and added a space for amplitude (both reared and EIT)
- added column to note if mosquitoes are knowingly coinfected (e.g., Wolbachia, ISV, arbovirus, etc)
- changed experimental outcome section to no longer be infection/dissemination/transmission
- updated to 5 sections to provide sample tested, diagnostic, number tested and number positive
