Subset: HostInformation

Biosample slots describing the host organism a sample was taken from or associated with: host taxonomy, anatomy, physiology, life stage, and condition. A Biosample populating at least badge_minimum_slots of these is awarded the host_information badge.

URI: HostInformation

Comments

  • Many NMDC biosamples have no host, so an absent host_information badge means the slots are unpopulated, not that the sample is deficient. The data portal shows only badges a sample has earned.
