SUMO - Adjusdt data - Annotation


For interpretation of data and statistical tests it is helpful to use annotations both for genes (row) as well as for conditions (columns) included into the loaded data matrix.
Here you find functions to extend / modify the annotatons.






Add condition / hybridisation annotations in colums

If you have data tables (tab delimited text) with additional annotations you can merge these data to the already existing annotations by common Identifiers.
Supply a tab delimited text file with additional hybridisation annotations, one hybridisation per line.
External data are mapped to the loaded data table using a "unique" key which must exist in both the loaded data as well as in the new data table.
Data preview windows open up:

Data rows in the new extended data table, with a non matching key are ignored.






Add feature / gene annotations in rows

Similar as above, supply a teab delimited text file with extendedn feature annotation.
Define data columns containng the unique link key.






Means to annotation

It may be helpful to add annotaton columns containing descriptive statistic values to your matrix, before certain normalisation/data adjustment procedures are performed.

E.g. control gene normalized log2 ratios do not contain any inference on signal intensity.
BUT a 2 fold regulated gene at high signal levels (20000 counts) may be much more interesting compared to a gene 2-fold regulated at background/noise levels (~50).

SUMO allows to compute several descriptive statistics parameters from the all or selected conditions:

Enter a name for the new data column.

The newly computed values are appended as new data columns to the already existing feature/gene annotations.

Such data values may be used lateron to filter / check lists of significant genes from statitstical tests.
