Home | Expression Sessions | Files
This file contains information about each sample. Here are some important facts about this file:
- CSV format (quotes only needed if the value has a comma in it)
- the first row is a header where the column names are the annotation keys
- the first field in each row is the sample id, and so it needs to match the column names of the expression matrix file (same ids, same order, same count)
- the sample id should be follow standard R variable naming convention (i.e. must start with a letter and can only be a combination of letters, digits,
., and_) - each row (after the header) has the annotations for each sample, with annotation values matching the keys at of the header row
- in the header row (first line), the column name of the first column (sample ids) must be an empty string or _id. In other words, the first word of the first line of the file needs to be "_id" or "" followed by a comma.
- column names cannot have a comma in them or a pipe |
- cannot repeat any of the column names
- every line in the file needs to have the same number of fields
- special characters should be avoided (i.e.
>,<,=, ...), especially in columns where scores will be computed
