SDRF
Encyclopedia
The Sample and Data Relationship Format (SDRF) is part of the MAGE-TAB
standard for communicating the results
of microarray
investigations, including all information required for MIAME
compliance.
An SDRF file is a tab-delimited file describing the relationships between samples, arrays, data, and other objects used or produced in a microarray investigation.
For simple experimental designs, constructing the SDRF file is straightforward, and even complex loop designs can be expressed in this format.

Microarray
A microarray is a multiplex lab-on-a-chip. It is a 2D array on a solid substrate that assays large amounts of biological material using high-throughput screening methods.Types of microarrays include:...
