The files described in the table make up the MAGE-TAB data set. They can be categorized into two groups: descriptive files and array data files. Some of the files are in MAGE-TAB format (see the Sourceforge overview) and others are supported as part of the MAGE-TAB data set. See the following figure and its description below.

The descriptive files include IDF, SDRF and Array Design Files. Note that the MAGE-TAB format Array Design File (designated as ADF) is not mandatory in caArray, since array design files for the common arrays are usually available from their respective array providers. If an array design file (which may not be MAGE-TAB format) is available from its array provider, it should be chosen over an ADF file. MAGE-TAB ADF files are not parsed by caArray. Array design files, whether native or ADF, are uploaded using the Manage Array Design interface under Curation on the caArray left sidebar. The MAGE-TAB file types, IDF, SDRF and data matrix files, on the other hand, are uploaded on the Manage Data page.
