Minimum requirement to prep annotation for NCBI submission

[osvatic]

I am hoping to annotate genomes before submitting them to NCBI or creating a bioproject/biosample for them.

For this I need a fasta, generic yaml, and a metadata yaml. What is the minimum required information to put in the metadata yaml for ncbi submission?

It looks like the minimum is "organism" (stated as required) and then "contact_info" and "authors" (both mention that they should be used if intended to submit to NCBI.

Are there any other things that should be included at a minimum?

Thank you for your report, Jay!

This seems fine, but let me double check with others.
