+ | .[[CDF]] is the extension used by [[Affymetrix]] to name files storing information about an array layout. The locations of probes, probe-sets and probe-pairs are registered in this files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For each type of array, [[Affymetrix]] provides a [[CDF]] file containing information about its characteristics. If several [[CEL]] files belong to the same array type they will use the same [[CDF]] file. | ||

+ | [[Babelomics]]' data base repository contains [[CDF]] files for all standard [[Affymetrix]] arrays. If you are using an standard [[Affymetrix]] array then you do not need to upload [[CDF]] files into [[Babelomics]]. At the moment it is not possible to upload **custom** [[CDF]] files into [[Babelomics]] so you will not be able, for instance, to normalize **custom** [[Affymetrix]] arrays. | ||
