The MLVA Dataset type was chosen.
The data format for the typing data should be as follows.
Load a tab separated file with the first row containing column headers
(field names). The first column should be a Sequence Identifier, an
unique ID for the complete allelic profile.
Other columns should be
the different loci used in the typing scheme. For each loci the number
of repeats found should be given.
The following example represents an MLVA scheme with 7 loci named l1
to
l7
:
ST l1 l2 l3 l4 l5 l6 l7
1 8 6 6 6 12 13 4
2 5 4.5 4 2.5 2 15 2
3 5.5 3 4 1.5 6 8 4
(...)
This files should not contain missing data. If any allele missing data
is found the entire line is discarded.
