Information about uploading and organizing data
Study Organization
Study directories will be organized like this:
Study_Name/
Assay_a/
Assay_b/
Metadata/
Staging/
(private access)
File naming
File names must be unique and machine readable. Names can not include special characters. Furthermore, we recommend the names be concise and descriptive.
See general file naming recommendations from the Princeton U Library.
Study Documentation
Each study will need a Study Description, Methods Description, and Acknowledgment Statement. The Documentation Submission Form includes some templates for these documents and instructions about submitting the documents.Each study should be accompanied by
Study Description
MODEL-AD specific templates are being drafted and will be made available on Synapse (see Study, Acknowledgment, and Methods). Each study needs 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.
...
Methods Description
Each assay should be accompanied by include a short description that includes specimen processingbrief description of the procedures, data generation, and data processing, as applicable – something akin to the Materials and Methods section of a manuscript.
Acknowledgement Statement
All MODEL-AD studies should have the following acknowledgment:
bq. collection, and analytical methods. This is a good opportunity to provide useful details that may not be included in the manuscript.
Acknowledgment Statement
Every MODEL-AD study should include the following acknowledgment:
The IU/JAX/PITT MODEL-AD Center was established with funding from The National Institute on Aging (U54 AG054345). Contact us: ModelAD@iupui.edu
