The following guidelines would be helpful to ensure that all relevant information is provided. 1. '''Laboratory Information''': * PI * Researcher associated and contact information * Technician * Animal strain (i.e. A/J mice) * Tissue/sample (i.e. lymphocytes) * Data type (i.e. gene expression data) * Chip used, along with version * Day/Date when the experiment was conducted, * a list of which samples were analyzed on which days if different samples were analyzed on different days * The experimental layout of the study, i.e. which samples are located where on the chip results * Explanations for the column labels used in the raw data files * Copy of Tracking worksheet for your experiment 2. '''Raw data files''': * Standard format * Annotation file if your lab has prepared any special file 3. '''Description of the experiment’s goals''': * Primary and secondary objectives * Proposed plan of analysis if biologists have any particular technique in mind
