Can the same sample or analysis be represented more than once in the data collection?

0

Yes, when there is a good reason. For instance, the same sample may be described by two different labs or be re-analysed years later. Or an analysis may be expressed in a different way by later work. These duplicate results are all valid, and should be included in the database for mapping. (Note that the duplicate analyses may not carry exactly the same sample names.
