MAGE-TAB

MicroArray Gene Expression Tabular (MAGE-TAB) was developed to represent functional genomics data in a structured way and has been used by ArrayExpress and GEA. MAGE-TAB is also used in proteomics fields and is becoming a standard in omics fields.
MAGE-TAB consists of two parts, IDF and SDRF. IDF describes study design, and SDRF describes sample characteristics and relationship between sample and data files. IDF and SDRF are linked by protocols. Metadata and data files are linked by SDRF.

IDF

IDF (Investigation Description Format) is a file describing study overview, experimental design, protocols, publication and submitter information.

IDF example

Please see the HELP sheet of the excel for details.

SDRF

SDRF (Sample and Data Relationship Format) is a file describing sample characteristics and relationship between samples, measurement instruments and data files. SDRF is a table represents omics experimental flow, starts from source samples and ends with data files.

SDRF example

Please see the HELP sheet of the excel for details.
