+ | ====== Affymetrix raw data files: CEL files ====== | ||
+ | **.[[CEL]]** is the extension used by [[Affymetrix]] to name data files storing probe intensity measurements. Information about the array design characteristics such as location of probes, probe-sets and probe-pairs is stored by Affymetrix in [[CDF]] files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In an experiment carried out using [[Affymetrix]] technology you will have a [[CEL]] file for each of the arrays you hybridized. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In [[Babelomics]], [[CEL]] files are considered to be the [[raw data]] files of the [[Affymetrix]] platform. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Some [[CEL]] files can be in text format but most of them wil be in ASCII or binary format. Do not be too surprised if you cannot open them using a text editor or an spreadsheet. | ||
