Tab2MAGE

Tab2MAGE converts MAGE-ML encoded microarray experiment metadata into MAGE-TAB spreadsheets to enable MIAME-compliant annotation and submission to ArrayExpress.

Key Features:

• Flexible Spreadsheet Format: Uses MAGE-TAB, a tab-delimited spreadsheet format of the MAGE standard, to represent microarray experiment metadata and support MIAME-compliant annotation.
• Self-contained Format: Produces self-contained MAGE-TAB files that remove the need for users to work directly with MAGE-ML or XML representations.
• Direct Submission Capability: Supports submission of MAGE-TAB formatted datasets to the ArrayExpress repository.

Scientific Applications:

• Public deposition and standardized exchange: Enables MIAME-compliant deposition of microarray datasets into ArrayExpress to support data sharing and reproducibility.

Methodology:

Converts MAGE-ML formatted data into MAGE-TAB spreadsheets.
