CAOS-Workbench

(Character Attribute Organization System)

Add new dataset to the CAOS-Library (1 of 2)

To add a new dataset into the library a specific format
for the data and additional information is necessary.
Five folders in total have to be created and it is very important
that they are labeled as listed below:

  • ATTRIBUTES
  • BARCODES
  • FASTA
  • NEXUS
  • OVERVIEW
  • Description of the folder contents:

    To allow other users a good insight view into the created dataset it is necessary to
    make all information regarding the dataset accesible to other users.

    1) ATTRIBUTES folder (Example)
    The attribute folder should contain all five overview charts and the total barcode chart
    that are created by the CAOS-Barcoder program. These charts allow other users to examine the
    number and quality of the character attributes that where detected by the CAOS-Analyzer for
    the choosen dataset of interest.

    2) BARCODES folder (Example)
    The barcodes folder should contain the barcode matrix and a fasta file with the alignment
    of all sequences used in the dataset. The barcode matrix will be implemented in the CAOS-Classifier
    and should allow yourself as well as other users to use it for the identification of new samples.
    It is very important that the matrix is named with the project name followed by "_barcode.csv"
    (e.g. if the project is called "Ischnura" the matrix should be named "Ischnura_barcode.csv"). The
    same goes for the fasta file (e.g. "Ischnura.fas").
