dataType

High-level classification of the type of data contained in the file, loosely related to the experimental method or biological entity that is being profiled. Select all that apply using a comma-delimited list, though in most cases only a single label is expected. For multimodal datasets with concomitant profiling of biospecimen include ‘multimodal’.
