Description
The individual ID is currently a text field of the sample table.
Proposal is to change this to be autogenerated from a sample, and point samples from the same individual to a master entry.
- external ID if filled out
- internal ID otherwise, for example I32195
If a sample has an external ID, we assume that this is the initial processing.
In the future, we may want to separate out columns from the sample table into an individual table to reuse for different samples from the same individual.
