27) How to create a metadata file for AVANA???

In order to do mutual information analysis (e.g in post 25), we need to create a metadata file:

a) Create a blank excel sheet.

b) Paste your GI numbers correspondingly to the first column of the sheet.

c) In the second column, insert the serotype matching with the corresponding gi numbers.

d) In the third column, insert the protein name matching with the corresponding gi numbers.

e) Make sure that you include headers in the first row or AVANA will treat the first data as a header, thus missing out 1 data in your analysis.

f) Once all the data is in, save the spreadsheet as a comma-separated file by changing "Save as type" to "CSV (Comma delimited)".







This is a sample metadata of my dengue virus records with capsid protein entries for all serotypes, which i named as "All_C.csv". The pictures show the start and the end of the sheet respectively.
