Your experiment data consists of multiple an IDF metadata files, each of which is associated with one or more SDRF metadata files. Each of these SDRF filesfile and its corresponding SDRF metadata file, which, in turn, is associated with one or more raw and derived array data files. In this tutorial, the array files we use are in the Agilent TXT (raw) and TSV (derived) formats; the file formats for your data may differ.
