   Info
   title Archive File Contents
   The archive file is in compressed format. When you download it, it may be a single compressed folder or .zip file. When you open it, you see at minimum three text files at the root of the folder or file. An example of these follow.     a_10290.txt    i_10290.txt    s_10290.txt The text files describe the investigation The only requirement to upload it is for the text files describing the investigation (only one text file), study or studies, and assay or assays to be located at the root of the archive. In this example, 10290 represents the file identifier but in practice, each file identifier may be named differently, even in the same investigation. Only the a, i, or s prefix is required. The archive may also contain other files or folders as appropriate for the investigation; for example, images. The contents of the archive folder look similar to the following (10290 is just an example of the file identifier and this can be different for each text file, even in the same investigation):    a_10290.txt    i_10290.txt    s_10290.txt
