Fileformats
Qlucore Omics Explorer (OE) supports nine data file formats:
- Affymetrix Probe Set Files (*.chp)
- Agilent text files (*.txt)
- Agilent Gene View files (*.txt)
- Qlucore Data files (*.gedata)
- Simple Data files (*.txt)
- Compact Data files (*.txt, *.csv)
- BioArray Software Environment files (*.base)
- Geo Data Sets (*.soft and *.soft.gz)
- Geo Series Matrix (*.txt and *.txt.gz)
In addition to the data file formats listed above it is possible to import annotations. The annotations shall be stored in a .txt or .csv file.
For R users we have scripts that converts data in R to a '.gedata' file and scripts that normalize RNA-seq data. The scripts can be downloaded on the support pages | FAQ.
For genereic data import we are using the Qlucore data file (.gedata) format. It contains a complete data frame, including sample and variable annotations. The file format has been designed to make it easy to create a file by copying and pasting in a spreadsheet application. This ensures platform independance and forward compatibility. Data coming from other tools and applications can be formatted and imported easily.
The "How to Import data" document will provide more details about data import.
