I don't like putting stuff on NCBI. I have the reads and assemblies for 274 E.coli isolates. Today I only got through the biosample table and am in the middle of the SRA metadata table in half a day. I haven't even started to deal with the assemblies. This could take me all week or longer. #bioinformatics #ncbi #tedious #paperwork #genomics

It probably doesn't help, but I appreciate the work that people like you put into providing that data to the community.
Are there opportunities for streamlining the work that you can think of, help that others could provide in tooling or other support?
I start looking to automate processes after doing them twice, so I have a lot of respect for the effort involved.
