Appendix A — Appendix: publish to standardised cell line repositories.

A.1 Repository organisation and Data tracking

• Project Code Organisation

• Data Fingerprinting with MDA5 and Environment Snapshots: R and Code tracking

• Large datasets versioning:

  • DataLad VS DVC
  • DataLad Versus DVC, and DataLad Versus DVC V2
  • Git LFS VS Alembic

• Homogenise Excel colnames, and other spreadsheet tips

A.2 Publish cell lines on Web repositories

• cellosaurus General Comments and cellosaurus Official Website, from(Bairoch 2018; Robin, Capes-Davis, and Bairoch 2020). Specifically, the CLASTR algorithm relies on short-tandem repeat patterns to map user-provided cell lines with the ones available in Cellosaurus database.
