Some examples of transcriptomics templates for Affymetrix data that conform to the MAGE-TAB specification. These templates were taken from the GEO website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/info/spreadsheet.html) and modified to conform to the SysMO-JERM (Just enough Results Model) for transcriptomics. Using these templates will mean easier submission to GEO/ArrayExpress and greater consistency of data in SEEK.

A example of an RT-PCR Excel template. RT-PCR is Reverse Transcriptase PCR (NOT to be confused with Real Time PCR, which is normally referred to as qPCR)

This template was taken from the GEO website (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/info/spreadsheet.html) and modified to conform to the SysMO-JERM (Just enough Results Model) for transcriptomics. Using templates will mean easier submission to public databases on publication and greater consistency of data in SEEK.

This Excel template is an example taken from the GEO web site (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/info/spreadsheet.html#GAtemplates) which has been modified to conform to the SysMO JERM (Just Enough Results Model). Using templates helps with searching and comparing data as well as making it easier to submit data to public repositories for publications.

Some generic examples of transcriptomics templates that conform to the MAGE-TAB specification. These templates were created and modified from templates produced by ArrayExpress and GEO. These templates are generic and non-specific for any particular array platform.
