MIMS package

MIMS (Metagenome/Environmental) package

A BioSample package designed for environmental and metagenome-derived samples. It specifies the minimum metadata required to describe environmental sources and metagenomic sequencing experiments, including attributes such as biome, feature, environmental material, geographic location, and other contextual information. MIMS ensures that metagenome and environmental sequence data are consistently annotated, facilitating comparison, reproducibility, and downstream analyses

Use for environmental and metagenome sequences. Organism must be a metagenome, where lineage starts with unclassified sequences and scientific name ends with 'metagenome'.
