+### 7. Custom metadata validation and custom BioSample package
+
+TOSTADAS defaults to Pathogen.cl.1.0 (Pathogen: clinical or host-associated; version 1.0) NCBI BioSample package for submissions to the BioSample repository. You can submit using a different BioSample package by doing the following:
+1. Change the package name in the `conf/submission_config.yamlsubmissions`. Choose one of the available [NCBI BioSample packages](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/biosample/docs/packages/). 
+2. Add the necessary fields for your BioSample package to your input Excel file.
+3. Add those fields as keys to the JSON file (`assets/custom_meta_fields/example_custom_fields.json`) and provide key info as needed.
+    replace_empty_with: TOSTADAS will replace any empty cells with this value (Example application: NCBI expects some value for any mandatory field, so if empty you may want to change it to "Not Provided".)
+    new_field_name: TOSTADAS will replace the field name in your metadata Excel file with this value. (Example application: you get weekly metadata Excel files and they specify 'animal_environment' but NCBI expects 'animal_env'; you can specify this once in the JSON file and it will changed on every run.)
+
+**Submit to a custom BioSample package**
+```
+nextflow run main.nf -profile <docker|singularity> --species virus --submission --annotation  --genbank true --sra true --biosample true --output_dir <path/to/output/dir/> --meta_path <path/to/metadata_file.xlsx> --submission_config <path/to/submission_config.yaml> --custom_fields_file  <path/to/metadata_custom_fields.json>
