Description

Description of feature

We probably need to create a separate input samplesheet with metadata that can also be submitted to ENA (especially for MAGs) from other checklists as optional. It will require to change genome_uploader to add those fields to manifest. Now pipeline is quite env centric.

Research direction

Start by tracing the genome_uploader entry point and how the current input samplesheet and manifest are built. Determine how metadata from other checklists can be represented as optional fields and passed to ENA, especially for MAGs. Done means optional metadata is accepted and included in the submitted manifest without requiring the current environment-centric fields.
