2.2.4.2.4 Transcriptome array data

The following four tags are mandatory for describing transcriptome probe sets:

<ObjectId> :

the name of the object

<PosBegin> :

start position of the probe set on the genome

<PosEnd> :

end position of the probe set on the genome

<Signal> :

signal value

The following fields are optional; they provide hypertext links towards public databases within VAMP.

<Source> :

origin of the object (IMAGE, GenBank, ...)

<SourceID> :

object identification for the public database

Any other tags may be added in the <Obj> description. They will be listed in the Info Panel of the bottom-left frame (figure 3.3), and will be taken into account by the Search Elements function (section 3.2.3).

A sample XML file for transcriptome array data is given in the Annexes (see 8.5) .
