Output Description

Affymetrix miRNA CEL Input Engine

Running this process for the Genisphere sample setting generates the Results window shown below. Refer to the Affymetrix miRNA CEL Input Engine process description for more information.

The Results window contains the following elements:

Output Data

This process generates the following data sets:

•

Experimental Design Data Set (EDDS): This data set lists specific information about experimental details for each of the arrays. Refer to Experimental Design Data Set (EDDS) for more information about this data set.

•

Output Data Set: This data set contains the data from the different .cel files. This data set is in the tall format: the intensity data from each array are listed in a separate column while individual spots are listed in rows.

•

CEL Header Data Set: This data set contains all the parameters in the header portion of each Command Console .cel file. These parameters include the algorithm applied, the type of chip used, the program applied, and other quality control information among the control l probes. The parameters are listed in columns, while the individual .cel files are listed in rows. Note: The CEL Header data set was not generated in this example because the .cel files were not formatted as Command Console files.

•

Quality Control (QC) Data Set: This data set is generated from QC data found either in a supplied QC Control File or in the .cel files themselves. It contains values for assessing the data quality for each of the spots on the arrays using the Pseudo Image process. This data set, which is identified by the __qcbp suffix, is in the tall format: the QC data from each array are listed in a separate column while individual spots are listed in rows. Note: This data set is generated only when QC data is included in the input data.

•

Probe Map Data Set: This data set lists the specific x and y coordinates of each spot on the arrays. This data set, is identified by the __pbmap suffix, is needed particularly for assessing data quality using the Surface Summary and Pseudo Image processes.

Note: You can view the data in a file or data set by clicking either Open or View Subset (when the data set is very large).

Launch Follow-up Processes

•

Basic miRNA/miRNA-Seq Workflow: Click Basic miRNA/miRNA-Seq Workflow to launch the Basic miRNA/miRNA-Seq Workflow process with the output data set and the EDDS specified as input.
