| - | SEA accepts three types of data files: **expression**, **covariates** and **annotation**. Data files are always **tab-delimited** files. strange symbols (such as % , &, /, # , etc) and quotation marks ("") should be avoided in labels and gene names. Also the presence of spaces is not recommended. \\ | + | SEA accepts three types of data files: **expression**, **covariates** and **annotation**.

| + | Experimental factors must have always **more than one level**, i.e. two or more time-points, two or more treatments, etc. If not, the experimental factor cannot be considered as such and should not be included in the covariates file. | ||

| + | \\ | ||
| + | * **Annotation**: txt file with functional annotation of genes. Two columns: gene_annotation. If a gene has more than one annotation label, this is indicated in different rows: | ||
