  • The data archive will contain all of your qPCR data files.
    IMPORTANT NOTE - Preferably, each input file in your data archive will be linked to a sample in the RUN metadata file. You'll read more when completing your metadata archive.
  • The files can be in RDML format or any other custom format of data files from any qPCR platform.
  • It is acceptable for individual files to be compressed before being inserted into the archive.
    • For example, your archive can contain .gz or .zip files.

    • For example, "samples_qPCR_data.zip" would be valid. So would "exRNA_qPCR_data.tar.gz".
  • The data archive should have a compression format of .tar.gz or .zip.
