Pub Array - Administration

The administration interface allows you to upload your experimental to the PubArray database.

Step 1: Upload Design Data

The design file describes which factors you observed during your experiment (eg: sex, strain, diet) and what values those factors took on for a particular microarray data set. See the help for detailed information on how this file (as well as the other files) should be structured.

Step 2: Upload Microarray Data

Your microarray data file should contain all of the intensity data from your microarray experiment (this could be normalized or raw data). The first column should contain all of the probe ID's (or probeset ID's) used in the microarray that you performed your experiment on.

Step 3: Upload Annotation Data (Optional)

The first column of the annotation data file should contain all of the same probe ID's that are found in the data file that was loaded in Step 2. The remaining annotation columns can contain arbitrary textual or numerical data, such as GO terms or gene IDs.
Eg: Affymetrix Annotations, MGI Annotations ...

Step 4: Upload Statistics Data (Optional)

The formatting rules are exactly the same as for the Annotation Data. The first column of the statistics data file should contain all of the same probe ID's that are found in the data file that was loaded in Step 2. The remaining statistics columns can contain arbitrary textual or numerical data such as such as precalculated probe statistics.
Eg: Model 1 Statistics, B6 Statistics, Stats ...

Step 5: Save Changes

No file uploads or metadata edits will be available until they are saved to the database
