It is recommended to cite the accession numbers that are assigned to data submissions, e.g. the GenBank, WGS or SRA accession numbers. If individual BioProjects need to be referenced, state that "The data have been deposited with links to BioProject accession number PRJNA526073 in the NCBI BioProject database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/)."
