Assayed biological macromolecule Schema

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EbiEga/ega-metadata-schema/main/schemas/EGA.experiment.json#/properties/assayedBiologicalMacromolecule

Node containing information about the assayed biological macromolecule: the material entity (e.g. 'nuclear RNA') that was assayed to generate the data. We recommend that you choose the most specific term that applies to your case: for example, if the assayed molecule is 'long non polyA RNA', choose the specific term 'long non polyA RNA' [EFO:0005018], instead of the generic term 'ribonucleic acid' [CHEBI:33697].
