Application of standards during a functional genomics experiment lifecycle. Multiple standards, each with a different, complementary scope, are employed at different stages of a functional genomics experiment. Reporting standards and physical standards inform both the design and execution of the experiment. During analysis of the results, analytical and quality metrics standards provide guidance and standard terminologies can also assist in the analysis. When it is time topublish results, reporting standards recommend what should be included to ensure accurate interpretation and replication by third parties. Data exchange and modeling standards describe data structures and formats useful for sharing and computationally processing the data. Terminology standards provide common language for annotating the experimental data in a way that fosters more effective comparison and querying between experiments, investigators, and organizations. A standards-compliant published experiment facilitates interpretation, analysis, integration, and comparison of the results by other researchers and software tools, and this can lead to new hypotheses to be tested by further experiments
