Recommended Minimum Reporting Information for Publication of Eco-transcriptomics Studies

As the rate of new transcriptomics studies continues to increase, it is imperative that transparency in reporting also improves to facilitate use of these data sources in risk assessment. In addition to data normally reported for ecotoxicity studies, there are some criteria specific for transcriptomics studies that should also be reported. These criteria include methodological reporting of crucial steps such as quantification, library preparation and sequencing parameters. Disclosing this data will increase comparability across studies, laboratories or species. Therefore, to supplement SETAC's Recommended Minimum Reporting Information for Environmental Toxicity Studies, this TIP was developed with “Recommended Minimum Reporting Information For Publication of Eco-transcriptomics Studies.”
