NOTE: Human-associated shotgun samples have been determined to leak human DNA, even with state of the art human read filtering mechanisms in place. To address this critical privacy concern as soon as possible, we are limiting per-sample FASTQ downloads to admins and study owners for human-associated shotgun samples, and in parallel we are (a) working with EBI-ENA to address submitted data and (b) updating Qiita to only allow download of sequence data that positively matches to a microbial specific database.
- Added "Artifact.has_human" to check if an artifact has samples that can potentially contain human sequences.
