ArrayExpress数据库的数据种类

1、IDF

The IDF contains an overview of the whole experiment, including the title, the submitter’s contact details, publication information, protocols and the experimental variables.

2、SDRF

The SDRF describes all the sample characteristics (e.g. cell type) or any treatment that the sample has been subjected to (e.g. growth in low oxygen conditions), and links each sample to its corresponding data file. The structure of the SDRF, i.e. the order of the columns, reflects the experimental workflow from source material, through intermediate st
