Study Naming

MODEL-AD data and metadata are organized by site and study. Studies are divided into directories by assay type, metadata, as well as a staging directory for data that has not yet been released.

MODEL-AD Studies are usually organized with directories as follows:

  • Study_name/

    • Assay_Type_1/ (data from first assay)

    • Assay_Type_2/ (data from second assay)

    • Metadata/

    • Staging/ (data that has yet to be released)

      • Assay_Type_n/ (unreleased data from nth assay)

Study Description

Each study should be accompanied by a brief study description that includes the species, genetic background, a link to the Jax Datasheet (if available) or a description of how the animals were created.

Assay Description

Each assessment should be accompanied by a brief description with information about the assessment procedures, data generation and processing, and analytical methods. This information is often described in the Materials and Methods section of a manuscript. This is a good opportunity to clarify or provide additional detail that may not be included in the peer-reviewed manuscript.
