Add intron_inclusion field to analysis_protocol #1554

Closed arschat closed 5 months ago

arschat commented 6 months ago

For which schema is a change/update being suggested?

I would like to request an update to the analysis_protocol.json schema.

What should the change/update be?

I would like to add a new field - intron_inclusion - to this schema to allow data contributors to record whether introns were included in the alignment process during read counting.

This update constitutes a minor change to the schema it affects.

What new field(s) need to be changed/added?

* Field name: intron_inclusion
* Field description: Whether introns were included in the alignment process during read counting.
* Field type: boolean
* Required: no
* Examples: yes; no

Why is the change requested?

This field is needed to record whether introns were included in the alignment process during read counting (include is the default option from Cell Ranger 7.0 onwards). Is one of the upcoming Tier 1 metadata proposed from HCA Integration Teams & Bionetworks

Affects the number of reads per cell called in a sample
