LoadExperiment enables you to load experimental quantitative, polymorphism, or alignment data for a genome in CoGe. Many common file formats are supported. The data can then be viewed alongside genome sequence/annotation in [[GenomeView]].  The LoadExperiment "wizard" guides you through each step:

== Metadata: describe your experiment  ==
The first step in loading an experiment into CoGe is to describe it with metadata.  CoGe requires a minimum set of metadata fields:
 
[[File:LoadExperiment-metadata.png|thumb|300px|Enter metadata that describes the experiment]]
*'''Name:''' Name of experiment
*'''Description:''' Description of experiment
*'''Version:''' Version of experiment
*'''Source:''' Where is the data from? This could be you, your lab, your university, a sequencing center, your collaborator.
*'''Restricted:''' Is this experiment public or restricted to you and your collaborators
*'''Genome:''' Select the appropriate genome from CoGe to associate file with
 
*'''Note''':  Additional metadata about the experiment can be added as well.
** Example from an experiment loaded into EPIC-CoGe: http://genomevolution.org/CoGe/ExperimentView.pl?eid=193
** Information on providing a metadata file for bulk import: [[Experiment Metadata]]

== Add data  ==
 
[[File:LoadExperiment-data.png|thumb|300px|Select data files]]
You can select and retrieve data file located at:
 
*The iPlant Data Store
** CoGe can only read data from the 'coge_data' directory in your iPlant Data Store.  You must put your data into that directory.
*An FTP server
*Your computer (Upload)
** Not recommended for large files!
 
'''Note: Typically only a single data file can be selected.'''  The exception is FASTQ formatted files for which multiple files can be selected.

=== Data Formats and Track Types ===
 
LoadExperiment supports several data file formats depending on the data type:
 
*Quantitative data [[File:quant_track.png|thumb|200px|Quantitative track]]
**Comma-separated (CSV) file format
**Tab-separated (TSV) file format
**BED file format
**WIG file format
*Marker data [[File:marker_track.png|thumb|200px|Marker track]]
** GFF/GTF file format
*Polymorphism (SNP) data [[File:snp_track.png|thumb|200px|SNP track]]
**Variant Call Format (VCF) file format
*Alignment data [[File:alignment_track.png|thumb|200px|Alignment track]]
**BAM file format
**FASTQ file format
 
Each of these file formats are described below in their own separate section. The file type can be auto-detected by LoadExperiment if the file name ends with the expected extension (.csv, .tsv, .bed, .gff, .gtf, .vcf, .bam). Files can be compressed (.zip, .gz) and still have their type auto-detected (e.g., mydata.bed.gz). For non-standard file name extensions, you can force a specific type by selecting it from the list of file types.
 
==== CSV File Format  ====
 
This is a comma-delimited file that contains the following columns
 
*Chromosome (string)
*Start position (integer)
*Stop position (integer)
*Chromosome Strand (1 or -1)
*Measurement Value must be between [0-1] (real number; inclusive)
*Second Value (OPTIONAL): can store a second value such as an expect value (real number)
 
#CHR,START,STOP,STRAND,VALUE1(0-1),VALUE2(ANY-ANY)
Chr1,11486,12316,1,0.181430277220112,7.3980806218146

==== TSV File Format  ====
 
Same as CSV format but with tab delimiters instead of commas.
 
==== BED File Format  ====
 
Two types are supported:
 
* Standard BED format as defined here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQformat.html#format1
** Only the first six columns are used, with the "name" field ignored.
* BedGraph format as defined here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/bedgraph.html
 
Note that the 0-based coordinates of the BED format will be translated into 1-based within CoGe.  Measurement values must be between [0,1].
 
==== WIG File Format  ====
 
Standard WIG format as defined here: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/help/wiggle.html
 
Only the "variableStep" type is supported.  The "fixedStep" type is not supported and will cause the load to fail with an error.
 
Start and end coordinates are expected to be 1-based.  Measurement values must be between [0,1].
 
==== GFF File Format ====
 
Standard GFF3 format as defined here:  http://gmod.org/wiki/GFF3
 
Only the seqid, start, end, score, strand, and attribute columns are used (column numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 respectively).
 
==== VCF File Format  ====
 
Standard VCF 4.1 format as defined here: http://www.1000genomes.org/wiki/Analysis/Variant%20Call%20Format/vcf-variant-call-format-version-41
 
==== BAM File Format  ====
 
Standard BAM format.
 
====FASTQ Data====
 
RNAseq reads in FASTQ format. 
 
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
== Select Options for FastQ data processing==
 
[[File:LoadExperiment-options.png|thumb|300px|Select options]]
This step displays options specific to the type of data that you selected. 
 
The most complicated options are for FASTQ input files.  CoGe provides multiple downstream analyses in addition to mapping reads to the reference sequence.
 
===Expression Analysis Pipeline===
The [[Expression Analysis Pipeline]] developed by James Schnable for his [http://qteller.com qTeller] project.
 
===SNP Identification Pipeline===
Multiple methods of SNP identification are available to choose from:
* CoGe method:  a naive [[Identifying SNPs|SNP detection method]] that extracts sites from a SAMtools mpileup file that meet certain minimum requirements
* Platypus:  popular SNP software from the Wellcome Trust Centre, http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/platypus
* SAMtools:  a method using the SAMtools software, http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml
* GATK:  currently not yet available ...stay tuned!  https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/topic?name=tutorials#tutorials2803
 
== Review and Submit ==
This final step simply displays of summary of the metadata, data, and options you've selected.  To begin the load click the "Start Loading" button.
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
== Troubleshooting  ==
Make sure that these basic requirements are followed:
* The file format must be one of those listed above.
* The chromosome names used in the data files exactly match those for the genome.  Mismatches will cause the load to fail.
* For text files, such as .CSV and .VCF, the newline (EOL) characters must be Unix-compliant (LF character, not CRLF) , see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Common_problems this article].  This is sometimes a problem when loading text files created in Excel on Windows OS.
 
==Bulk Loading==
Please contact the [mailto:coge.genome@gmail.com CoGe Team] if you have large numbers of experiments you wish to load and we can help you with the bulk loading.
 
==Demo Data==
These data are smaller than "real" datasets, but allow you to learn/test the system quickly (or use for demo's teaching)
