This page will allow you to upload all the separate files that make up your phenotypes. Here, you will have to upload each separate file individually. If you want instead to upload all your files as a single ZIP file, click here.

File(s) Metadata
Provide the character that separates the fields in your file(s). It should be the same character for all files (if more than one is provided).
A tab character will be assumed if you leave this field blank. See documentation for more information.
This specifies that lines that begin with the character provided will be considered comment lines and ignored in their entirety. See documentation for more information.
This specifies strings in your file indicate that there is no value for a particular cell (a cell is where a column and row intersect). Provide a space-separated list of strings if you have more than one way of indicating no values. See documentation for more information.
Data File(s)
Provide a file that contains only the phenotype descriptions, the documentation for the expected format of the file.
Provide a file that contains only the phenotype data. See the documentation for the expected format of the file.
{%if population.Family in families_with_se_and_n%}
Provide a file that contains only the standard errors for the phenotypes, computed from the data above.
Provide a file that contains only the number of samples/individuals used in the computation of the standard errors above.

Common Features

The following are the common expectations for ALL the files provided in the form above:

If you do not specify the separator character, then we will assume a TAB character was used as your separator.

We also assume you might include comments lines in your files. In that case, if you do not specify what character denotes that a line in your files is a comment line, we will assume the # character.
A comment MUST ALWAYS begin at the start of the line marked with the comment character specified.

File Metadata

We request some details about your files to help us parse and process the files correctly. The details we collect are:

File separator
The files you provide should be character-separated value (CSV) files. We need to know what character you used to separate the values in your file. Some common ones are the Tab character, the comma, etc.
Providing that information makes it possible for the system to parse and process your files correctly.
NOTE: All the files you upload MUST use the same separator.
Comment character
We support use of comment lines in your files. We only support one type of comment style, the line comment.
This mean the comment begins at the start of the line, and the end of that line indicates the end of that comment. If you have a really long comment, then you need to break it across multiple lines, marking each line a comment line.
The "comment character" is the character at the start of the line that indicates that the line is a line comment.
No-Value indicator(s)
Data in the real world is messy, and in some cases, entirely absent. You need to indicate, in your files, that a particular field did not have a value, and once you do that, you then need to let the system know how you mark such fields. Common ways of indicating "empty values" are, leaving the field blank, using a character such as '-', or using strings like "NA", "N/A", "NULL", etc.
Providing this information will help with parsing and processing such no-value fields the correct way.

file: Phenotypes Descriptions

The data in this file is a matrix of phenotypes × metadata-fields. Please note we use the term "metadata-fields" above loosely, due to lack of a good word for this.

The file MUST have columns in this order:

Phenotype Identifiers
These are the names/identifiers for your phenotypes. These names/identifiers are the same ones you will have in all the other files you are uploading.
Descriptions
Each phenotype will need a description. Good description are necessary to inform other people of what the data is about. Good description are hard to construct, so we provide advice on describing your phenotypes.
Units
Each phenotype will need units for the measurements taken. If there are none, then indicate the field is a no-value field.

You can add more columns after those three if you want to, but these 3 MUST be present.

The file would, for example, look like the following:

id,description,units,…
pheno10001|Central nervous system, behavior, cognition; …|mg|…
pheno10002|Aging, metabolism, central nervous system: …|mg|…

Note 01: The first usable row is the heading row.

Note 02: This example demonstrates a subtle issue that could make your CSV file invalid — the choice of your field separator character.
In the example above, we use the pipe character (|) as our field separator. This is because, if we follow the advice on how to write good descriptions, then we cannot use the comma as our separator – if we did, then our CSV file would be invalid because the system would have no way to tell the difference between the comma as a field separator, and the comma as a way to separate the "general category and ontology terms".

file: Phenotype Data, Standard Errors and/or Sample Counts

The data is a matrix of phenotypes × individuals, e.g.

# num-cases: 2549 # num-phenos: 13 id,IND001,IND002,IND003,IND004,…
pheno10001,61.400002,54.099998,483,49.799999,…
pheno10002,49,50.099998,403,45.5,…
pheno10003,62.5,53.299999,501,62.900002,…
pheno10004,53.099998,55.099998,403,NA,…

where IND001,IND002,IND003,IND004,… are the samples/individuals/cases in your study, and pheno10001,pheno10002,pheno10004,pheno10004,… are the identifiers for your phenotypes.

The lines beginning with the "#" symbol (i.e. # num-cases: 2549 and # num-phenos: 13 are comment lines and will be ignored

In this example, the comma (,) is used as the file separator.
