The sample file enables to create and define multiple samples for data analysisat once the same time!
Please watch our tutorial video on how to create bulk samples here.
The sample file is a csv.file .csv file with four columns separated by commas. The names of the columns are:
...
The condition column needs to be specified if differential gene expression (DE) analysis is required.
ATTENTION! Please do not add or remove columns. Also Additionally, do not change the name of the columns. The name of the columns must be the same as defined above.
In the csv.file .csv file, each row represents the information related to a single FASTQ file (sample).
...
The sample name must be unique for each sample entered in the sample file, except if merging FATSQ files is required (please see this following FAQ: Can I merge my FASTQ files on Kangooroo?).
The sample name can be any combination of letters, numbers, the dot “.” and the underscore sign “_”.
2-3- The columns “read1_file_name” (mandatory) and “read2_file_name” (optional) refer to the exact names names of the uploaded FASTQ files files which are to be analyzeduploaded in the projectanalyzed. The FASTQ files must be compressed with gzip software. For Regarding the file name, the dot “.” symbol is required to specify the file extension (e.g., file_name.fastq.gz).
4- The column “condition” refers to the name of the experimental condition of from which your sample was retrievedyour samples were subjected to. This name can be any combination of letters, numbers, the dot “.” and the underscore sign “_”. An experimental condition can be shared by several samples.
...
Sample1, Sample2 and Sample3 are replicates of obtained fromthe same experimentalcondition (e.g., Ccontrol control samples). Therefore, these samples should be labeled with the same condition name (e.g., CTRL).
Please keep the sample name and the condition short, when possible.
