Factors table example

The table describes the experiments in Factors

Single Factor file: in the table below the Factor is "Strain"
ExperimentStrain
WildType_rep1WT
WildType_rep2WT
Mutant_A_rep1MutA
Mutant_A_rep2MutA
Mutant_B_rep1MutB
Mutant_B_rep2MutB
The most simple experiment has just one factor (e.g. only "Strain") but the number of factors is in principle unlimited
These factors are used in the data analyse in the way it is indicated in the contrasts file (see Contrasts example)

Multiple Factors file: Factors in the table below are "Strain" and "Time"
