Hello! [@AWGall](https://awg.osdr.space/groups/awgall) We are working on a new assay template for digital droplet PCR. I based the ddPCR-specific fields on the dMIQE reporting guidelines. We are very open to suggestions for improvement! If you have trouble adding suggestions to the document directly please email me at [kristen.peach@nasa.gov](mailto:kristen.peach@nasa.gov)

Might it be useful to know the starting material, pre-extraction @kristen.peach?

Separate from this, I’m curious how these fields might be cross-ref with other data on same samples? In some of our ddPCR, we also did qPCR and PLFAs to contrast tools for total fungi from plants/soils.
