Study and condition columns#

All optional: older catalogs without them still load, and they are null when the source has no such metadata.

Dataset columns#

Column

Description

study_id

Identifier of the study the dataset belongs to.

sample_title

Free-text title of the individual sample.

timepoint

Sampling timepoint as written in the source (e.g. day 7).

timepoint_kind

Kind of timepoint (e.g. days post injury, age, treatment duration).

timepoint_days

Timepoint normalised to days (numeric; supports range filters).

treatment

Treatment or perturbation applied to the sample.

genotype

Genotype of the sample.

condition

Condition label for the sample (e.g. control vs. disease).
