NTR: Metatranscriptome Profiling

[DanBerrios]

Some on the GeneLab project are advocating a new type of assay for metranscriptome profiling. Does this make sense as a term?

[bpeters42]

yes, very much so.

Hi, just a note that one of the terms in our recent set of requests (which a pull request has been made for) is for 'metatranscriptome sequencing assay' which itself will be a grandchild of 'transcription profiling assay' via it's parent 'RNA-seq assay'.
Does this already cover the need from GeneLab? Or do you want a specific 'profiling' term?

@mgiglio99 Great, we can use that to tag the assay. But study design is also needed.

I'm going to close this issue, as metranscriptome sequencing assay has been added and will serve GeneLab's needs. Needs for study design terms can be opened as a separate issue.
