A web-based tool Canto; [41] was developed to facilitate community submissions. Since Canto is freely available, generic and highly configurable, it has been adopted by other projects. [42] Curation is subjected to review by professional curators resulting in high quality in-depth curation of all molecular data-types. [43]
