If you prepare your data for generating proteomaps, please consider the following issues:
Two columns
Use a
two column tsv format (TAB separated values).
This means, each line has to start with a gene/protein identifier followed by a TAB. After the TAB you have to give a value denoting the relative area size / abundance. The described data format is mandatory for tsv-file upload as well as for direct data input.
More than one column with values is not supported and will prevent the generation of proteomaps.
Notation of quantities
Quantities should be given as integer (1542), decimal numbers (1542.3) with dots '.' as decimal separator. Further scientific notation (1.5423e+03) is supported. For proteomap calculation the values will be encoded as areas. By this reason only positive values greater zero are supported. Empty or negative values obviously cannot be visualized as areas.
Header
None data lines such as headers should be preceded by # and will be ignored by the treemap algorithm.
Uniqueness of identifiers
Each identifier within the data file must occur only
one time. During preparation of the data file please make sure that multiple quantities for one identifier are summed up before data mapping.
For a detailed view on supported IDs for any organism use the 'insert example data' option. The given list show all protein IDs, which were included in the proteomaps protein functional classification scheme and by that reason are supported.
Calculation time
Currently the maximum calculation time quotas is set to 24 hours. Proteomap data files exceeding this will be cancelled. In such a case please contact
us for further assistance.
Errors
If these rules are not sufficiently considered, the result page will show an error message describing the error type. If you are faced with additional problems please contact
us. Please use the proteomap ID in your mail that refers to your data set.
Error pages will be deleted two days after the error has been occured.
