chunk_submission: Chunk up submission data frames

In ressy/srahelper: SRA Helper

Description

The SRA web interface will not allow a spreadsheet to be uploaded that contains more than 1000 rows, for both BioSample Attributes and Metadata (even though the documentation just says "1000 samples.") https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/docs/submitportal/ This will take a submission list pair of biosample/metadata data frames and split each into its own list, keeping the number of rows below 1000 for all output data frames. The resulting spreadsheets will need to be uploaded in separate submissions under the same BioProject. The data frames here will be organized so a given sample has all of its data in the same "chunk."

Usage

chunk_submission(submission, rowsmax = 1000)

Arguments

submission	list of submission data, as created by build_sra_submission.
rowsmax	maximum number of rows to be permitted in each chunk (spreadsheet).
