GB/T 45782-2025 Biotechnology—Requirements for data formatting and description in the life sciences

Scope

This document specifies consistent formats and documentation requirements for data and corresponding metadata (i.e., data describing data and its context) in life sciences, including biotechnology and biomedicine, as well as non-human biological research and development. It provides guidance for making data in life sciences searchable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
This document applies to manual or computational workflows used to systematically collect, record, or integrate data and corresponding metadata for other purposes in the life sciences field.
This document specifies format requirements for raw experimental or procedural data obtained manually and machine-generated data. It also stipulates requirements for the storage, sharing, access, interoperability, and reuse of data and corresponding metadata in the life sciences field.
This document outlines requirements for systematically acquiring large amounts of data from automated high-throughput workflows in the life sciences field, as well as data sets of various sizes obtained through other life science technologies and manual data collection.
This document applies to many fields in biotechnology and life sciences, including but not limited to: basic/applied research in all areas of life sciences, as well as industrial, medical, agricultural, or environmental biotechnology (excluding those used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes) and its methodology-driven fields, such as genomics (including large-scale parallel sequencing, metagenomics, epigenomics, and functional genomics), transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, glycomics, enzymology, immunochemistry, synthetic biology, systems biology, systems medicine, and related fields.
