Inserting Samples

The add_sample command requires a name and description; the parameter extra_metadata is optional:

(status, bs_ids) = server.search("Astrocy", "biosources", user_key)
bs_id = bs_ids[0][0]
extra_metadata = {"karyotype":"normal", "tier":"3"}
(status, bs_id) = server.add_sample(bs_id,
                  "Astrocy sample from ENCODE cv", extra_metadata, user_key)
