== PSE File Formats ==
Submissions to !GenoEx-PSE must be uploaded as a ZIP-archive containing two files: meta.csv (file702) and snps.csv (file704). Every  SNP specific record in snps.csv file must have a corresponding record  in meta.csv file and the information regarding country and breed for  given individual must be in agreement in both files. The fields in both files should be comma separated and no blank fields are allowed. Note that SNP-names must be written in capital letters.

At each upload from a Service User, both files must be zipped together and submitted at the same time. Data submitted in one file will not be processed until both files are available .

Data extracted from the !GenoEx-PSE database generally follow the same format as the data uploaded. The downloaded files does however contain one additional column with a Unique Upload ID, allowing to match meta.csv and snps.csv files coming from different uploading events. Therefore, Upload ID allows distinguishing multiple records of one individual coming from different sources and/or genotyping events. If you wish to upload more than one genotype for a given animal, you will have to do it in a separate set of files, as the database does not accept any duplicates in order to allow distinguishing between various genotyping events.

'''! Please note: '''Since the input files are comma delimited, do avoid the use of comma within a data field. If any of your fields require comma sign, add the escape character ‘\’ before the comma e.g. ‘Laboratory\, Branch’.

=== file 702 - meta.csv ===
File 702, named meta.csv, is required to be a variable length, comma delimited file in .csv format including a single record for each animal for which a SNP genotype details is being reported in the snps.csv file. For example, if the snps.csv file (File 704-AB or 704-TOP) includes SNP genotype results for 100 animals, the meta.csv file will have 100 records, one per animal.

=== file 704 - snps.csv ===
File 704, named snps.csv, contains the actual genotype data for the animals listed  in the corresponding meta.csv file.

The Service User may select to  upload and/or download SNP genotype data in either the "AB" or "TOP"  allele designations, which determines the content of the first field,  namely Record Type, in the following file format (i.e.: File 704-AB  versus File 704-TOP, respectively). The file704-AB/704-TOP will be exchanged as a  variable length, comma delimited file in .csv format and include a  single record for each SNP included for each animal.

For example, if  meta.csv file includes 100 animals and each SNP genotype include the 200  SNPs recommended by ISAG for Parentage Verification then snps.csv will include a maximum of 20,000 records (100 animals x 200 SNPs  each). In the event that any SNP was not "called" and the result is  missing, then that SNP for that animal should not be included in the  !GenoEx-PSE genotype exchange file. For this reason, even if the meta.csv  file includes 100 animals, this second file may not necessarily have a  total of 20,000 records.
