Create Study

To Create a new study, clickin the top right and follow the steps below.

1

Enter a Study Name

Enter a name for your study between 1 and 45 characters in length (including special characters). The study name can be updated later.

2

Enter a Study Description

Enter an optional description between 1 and 500 characters in length (including special characters). The study description can be updated later.

3

Select an Existing Project

Select an ICA project to ingest data from. The project list will only display the projects accessible to your workgroup. When adding data to your study, the available data will come from the ICA project you select. Make sure to choose the correct project, as this cannot be updated later.

4

Auto-Import Data

You can optionally choose to auto-import data into your study. If you select an omic type for auto-import, then whenever a pipeline corresponding to that omic type is completed, the output files will automatically be imported into your study. Note that it will not ingest any existing omic data already in the ICA project; it will only ingest output files from pipelines that complete after the option is selected. The omic types you choose to ingest can be changed later.

Additionally, any new single-cell and spatial data that is added to a study will automatically create sample records and initiate a Default analysis workflow for each sample. For more information, please refer to the assay-specific walkthroughs.

When you enable auto-ingestion, a notification will be created in ICA to subscribe to the pipeline events for the omic type you’ve selected. Do not delete this notification.
