File format:

Each technical replicate for each biological sample will have a separate file. The metadata will be specified at the time of uploading the file through the front end. The file should be tab-delimited and should have the following columns:

Column HeadingWhat to store in each columnRequirement (Required or Optional)
Spot_idID for the reference spotRequired
pIpI for the spot on the sample gelOptional
MWMW for the spot on the sample gelOptional
IntensityIntensity of the spotOptional
Norm_intensityNormalized intensity of the spotRequired

At least one of the values of "Intensity" or "Norm_intensity" must be not NULL.

File names:

Please name your files using only the following characters “a–z”, “A–Z”, “0–9” and “_”. Connect parts of the name with underscores. Please have the same name for raw data and processed data files for the same sample. For example, xxx_yy_zzz.txt and xxx_yy_zzz.TIF correspond to one sample for which xxx_yy_zzz.TIF is the raw data file and xxx_yy_zzz.txt is the processed data file.

Here is an example of the format for processed proteomics data file:
