The GEPS supports the tab-delimited plain text file (e.g. *.txt) that commonly used in gene expression datasets.

The first column is normally entitled with "Identifier", " Gene_ID" or other title that contains the unique symbols/IDs for genes or probesets. The identifiers will be used for later data query. The following columns are the expression data of samples. The first row contains the titles of columns (samples).

Wild characters(e.g. @ ? , " ' : ;), space or null are NOT allowed in any value of the data, which should be replaced by either "_", "0" or the word "null". Make sure that both the identifier of each row (gene) and title of each column (sample) are unique, and that all expression data are non-negative numbers.

In the cases of internet traffic, it is strongly recommanded to compress the data file into "*.zip" format.

The uploading process may take 10-20 seconds or longer time depending on both the file size and the internet situation. Please contact the Sever Maintener if you have problems with the file uploading.
