Data Submission

Data Submission Guidelines for the sftpuntwist Cluster

Please adhere to the following guidelines when submitting your data to the sftpuntwist cluster to ensure data consistency and usability.

File Structure and Format:

  1. One File Per Experiment:

    • Each file should contain data from a single experiment. For example, if you performed FAMEs analysis, all variables measured during that experiment should be included in one file.
  2. Tab-Separated Values (TSV):

    • Files must be tab-separated text files (.tsv).
  3. File Naming Convention:

    • Name each file after the experiment it represents. For example, a file containing FAMEs analysis data should be named FAMES.tsv.

File Content and Field Definitions:

Each file should adhere to the following structure, with the first six columns representing metadata:

Column NameDescriptionExample
linecultivarUNT18, UNT4
replicatebiological replicater1, r2, r3 ...
instituteThe institute code who performed the experimentRRES, INRAE, AIT, UNIBO, CCE
intervalthis field is for time series experiment or multi year trialsYear1, Year2
development stagethe developmental stage of the plant at which the data was measuredmaturity, seedling, flowering, 4 leaf stage etc,
locationthe country of the institutee. g for RRES it will be United Kingdom
Plant_anatomical_entitythe tissue on which the measurement is madeleaf, whole plant, root, seed, flower
treatmentexperimental conditionscontrol, heat, drought
naming variable columns

The rest of the columns represent the variables/params measured, you can add as many as possible. each variable column's name should be its name and the measurement unit

example variable name = Fresh Weight (g)

For variable names please do not use abbreviations, if you must use please provide and additional acronym's file. Please do not include them in the same file with other data points. Please do not use multiple sheets in one file.

Folder structure on the sftpuntwist

in the sftpuntwist folder you can follow this scheme to deposit your data

e. g if WP3 is the main folder
 
- WP3
    -RRES
        -FAMES.tsv
        - Licor.tsv
        -FAMES_notes.txt
        -FAMES_protocol.txt
 
    -INRAE
        -FAMES.tsv
        - Licor.tsv
    -UNIBO
        -FAMES.tsv
        - Licor.tsv
        -FAMES_notes.txt
        -FAMES_protocol.txt
 

Additional information

If there is any additional information, this chould also be submitted usinng the same file name with you experiment. e. g. above folder contain files FAMES_notes.txt, FAMES_protocol.txt or FAMES_README.txt in your corresponding folder.
