AgilentMicroarray (.txt)

Background & Context

- Agilent microarray data format.
- File format used for the storage and exchange of microarray data and metainformation.
- ASCII format.
- Output format of Agilent Feature Extraction and Agilent Genomic Workbench (AGW) software.
- Contains three subtables, storing the Feature Extraction parameters, microarray-level statistics and feature-level data.

Import ["file","AgilentMicroarray"] imports data from any Agilent microarray file.
Import ["file",{"AgilentMicroarray",elem}] imports the specified element.
Import ["file",{"AgilentMicroarray",{elem₁,elem₂,…}}] imports multiple elements.
Import ["file",{"AgilentMicroarray",elem,subelem}] imports the specified subelement.
Import ["file",{"AgilentMicroarray",elem,{subelem₁,subelem₂,…}}] imports multiple subelements.
See the following reference pages for full general information:
Import import from a file

CloudImport import from a cloud object

ImportString import from a string

ImportByteArray import from a byte array

General Import elements:
"Elements" list of elements and options available in this file

"Summary" summary of the file

"Rules" list of rules for all available elements
Common data representation element:
"FeatureTable" raw feature table

"LabeledFeatureTable" feature table as a list of rules
Meta-information element:
"Header" Feature Extraction parameters given as a list of rules
Array-wide statistics element:
"Statistics" array-wide statistics given as a list of rules
Use Import ["file",{"AgilentMicroarray",elem,"Elements"}] to list the subelements available in each of the three main tables ("LabeledFeatureTable", "Header", "Statistics").
Import uses the "FeatureTable" element by default.
