Import Discrete Data from CSV file ---------------------------------- Molecular marker data created in a spreadsheet program such as OpenOffice Calc or Excell must be exported to a Comma-Seperated Value (.csv) file for use by mGDE. 1) Your spreadsheet should have each isolate/species/strain in rows, and each marker in a separate column. The first column should be the name of the isolate/species/strain. 2) In the File menu of your spreadsheet program, export to a .csv file using comma (,) as the separator character. 3) Check the .csv file by opening it up in a text editor. It should look something like this: LR210,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1 LR211,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1 LR212,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1 LR213,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1 LR214,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 LR215,1,0,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1 LR216,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1 LR217,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,1,0,1 4) Import the file into mGDE using File --> Import Discrete Data from CSV file
