Directory structure ------------------- * Meta-data : the detailed information about experimental protocol and flow. * human : data files for human cells * mouse : data files for mouse cells File format ----------- * Already defined format, such as GFF, SGR (affy IGB's format), BED, XLSX, etc. * In most cases, we use text files formated (*.tbl.txt) as: - Tab-delimted text - Lines starting with '#' are used to describe comments in free format. - Lines starting with '##' are used to describe information in a defined way ('qualifier = value').
