The metadata files I have for my fastqs are in .csv instead of .tsv, can I change the file type to .tsv? Do they have to be .tsv files so I can evaluate them using keemei?
Thank you in advance
Hello Angelica,
Once you import the .csv file into Google Docs and validate with Keemei, you can File > Download the file as a .tsv.
For reference, .csv is short for comma separated values
sampleID, type, patient
s1, treatment, Colin
s2, control, Colin
s3, treatment, Sam
s4, control, Sam
While .tsv is short for tab separated values
sampleID type patient
s1 treatment Colin
s2 control Colin
s3 treatment Sam
s4 control Sam
The format is very similar!
