EDAM is also useful in data management itself, for recording provenance metadata of processed data. EDAM is a community project and its development can be followed and contributed to at https://github.com/edamontology/edamontology. https://github.com/edamontology/edamontology/graphs/contributors and many more! Hervé Ménager Jon Ison Matúš Kalaš application/rdf+xml EDAM - The ontology of data analysis and management EDAM is a domain ontology of data analysis and data management in bio- and other sciences, and science-based applications. It comprises concepts related to analysis, modelling, optimisation, and data life-cycle. Targetting usability by diverse users, the structure of EDAM is relatively simple, divided into 4 main sections: Topic, Operation, Data (incl. Identifier), and Format. 1.26_dev Matúš Kalaš 1.13 true Publication reference 'Citation' concept property ('citation' metadata tag) contains a dereferenceable URI, preferably including a DOI, pointing to a citeable publication of the given data format.

CG trajectory formats MD trajectory formats NA trajectory formats Protein trajectory formats Formats differ on what they are able to store (coordinates, velocities, topologies) and how they are storing it (raw, compressed, textual, binary). Trajectory format 1.22 true Binary file format to store trajectory information for a 3D structure . Trajectory format (binary) 1.22 true Textual file format to store trajectory information for a 3D structure . Trajectory format (text) 1.22 HDF is the name of a set of file formats and libraries designed to store and organize large amounts of numerical data, originally developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois. HDF is currently supported by many commercial and non-commercial software platforms such as Java, MATLAB/Scilab, Octave, Python and R. HDF 1.22 PCAZip format is a binary compressed file to store atom coordinates based on Essential Dynamics (ED) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The compression is made projecting the Cartesian snapshots collected along the trajectory into an orthogonal space defined by the most relevant eigenvectors obtained by diagonalization of the covariance matrix (PCA). In the compression/decompression process, part of the original information is lost, depending on the final number of eigenvectors chosen. However, with a reasonable choice of the set of eigenvectors the compression typically reduces the trajectory file to less than one tenth of their original size with very acceptable loss of information. Compression with PCAZip can only be applied to unsolvated structures. PCAzip 1.22 Portable binary format for trajectories produced by GROMACS package. XTC uses the External Data Representation (xdr) routines for writing and reading data which were created for the Unix Network File System (NFS). XTC files use a reduced precision (lossy) algorithm which works multiplying the coordinates by a scaling factor (typically 1000), so converting them to pm (GROMACS standard distance unit is nm). This allows an integer rounding of the values. Several other tricks are performed, such as making use of atom proximity information: atoms close in sequence are usually close in space (e.g. water molecules). That makes XTC format the most efficient in terms of disk usage, in most cases reducing by a factor of 2 the size of any other binary trajectory format. XTC 1.22 Trajectory Next Generation (TNG) is a format for storage of molecular simulation data. It is designed and implemented by the GROMACS development group, and it is called to be the substitute of the XTC format. Trajectory Next Generation format Fully architecture-independent format, regarding both endianness and the ability to mix single/double precision trajectories and I/O libraries. Self-sufficient, it should not require any other files for reading, and all the data should be contained in a single file for easy transport. Temporal compression of data, improving the compression rate of the previous XTC format. Possibility to store meta-data with information about the simulation. Direct access to a particular frame. Efficient parallel I/O. TNG 1.22 The XYZ chemical file format is widely supported by many programs, although many slightly different XYZ file formats coexist (Tinker XYZ, UniChem XYZ, etc.). Basic information stored for each atom in the system are x, y and z coordinates and atom element/atomic number. XYZ files are structured in this way: First line contains the number of atoms in the file. Second line contains a title, comment, or filename. Remaining lines contain atom information. Each line starts with the element symbol, followed by x, y and z coordinates in angstroms separated by whitespace. Multiple molecules or frames can be contained within one file, so it supports trajectory storage. XYZ files can be directly represented by a molecular viewer, as they contain all the basic information needed to build the 3D model. XYZ 1.22 AMBER trajectory (also called mdcrd), with 10 coordinates per line and format F8.3 (fixed point notation with field width 8 and 3 decimal places). AMBER trajectory format inpcrd mdcrd 1.22 true Format of topology files; containing the static information of a structure molecular system that is needed for a molecular simulation. CG topology format MD topology format NA topology format Protein topology format Many different file formats exist describing structural molecular topology. Typically, each MD package or simulation software works with their own implementation (e.g. GROMACS top, CHARMM psf, AMBER prmtop). Topology format 1.22 GROMACS MD package top textual files define an entire structure system topology, either directly, or by including itp files. There is currently no tool available for conversion between GROMACS topology format and other formats, due to the internal differences in both approaches. There is, however, a method to convert small molecules parameterized with AMBER force-field into GROMACS format, allowing simulations of these systems with GROMACS MD package. GROMACS top 1.22 AMBER Prmtop file (version 7) is a structure topology text file divided in several sections designed to be parsed easily using simple Fortran code. Each section contains particular topology information, such as atom name, charge, mass, angles, dihedrals, etc. AMBER Parm AMBER Parm7 Parm7 Prmtop Prmtop7 It can be modified manually, but as the size of the system increases, the hand-editing becomes increasingly complex. AMBER Parameter-Topology file format is used extensively by the AMBER software suite and is referred to as the Prmtop file for short. version 7 is written to distinguish it from old versions of AMBER Prmtop. Similarly to HDF5, it is a completely different format, according to AMBER group: a drastic change to the file format occurred with the 2004 release of Amber 7 (http://ambermd.org/prmtop.pdf) AMBER top 1.22 X-Plor Protein Structure Files (PSF) are structure topology files used by NAMD and CHARMM molecular simulations programs. PSF files contain six main sections of interest: atoms, bonds, angles, dihedrals, improper dihedrals (force terms used to maintain planarity) and cross-terms. The high similarity in the functional form of the two potential energy functions used by AMBER and CHARMM force-fields gives rise to the possible use of one force-field within the other MD engine. Therefore, the conversion of PSF files to AMBER Prmtop format is possible with the use of AMBER chamber (CHARMM - AMBER) program. PSF 1.22 GROMACS itp files (include topology) contain structure topology information, and are typically included in GROMACS topology files (GROMACS top). Itp files are used to define individual (or multiple) components of a topology as a separate file. This is particularly useful if there is a molecule that is used frequently, and also reduces the size of the system topology file, splitting it in different parts. GROMACS itp files are used also to define position restrictions on the molecule, or to define the force field parameters for a particular ligand. GROMACS itp 1.22 Format of force field parameter files, which store the set of parameters (charges, masses, radii, bond lengths, bond dihedrals, etc.) that are essential for the proper description and simulation of a molecular system. Many different file formats exist describing force field parameters. Typically, each MD package or simulation software works with their own implementation (e.g. GROMACS itp, CHARMM rtf, AMBER off / frcmod). FF parameter format 1.22 Scripps Research Institute BinPos format is a binary formatted file to store atom coordinates. Scripps Research Institute BinPos It is basically a translation of the ASCII atom coordinate format to binary code. The only additional information stored is a magic number that identifies the BinPos format and the number of atoms per snapshot. The remainder is the chain of coordinates binary encoded. A drawback of this format is its architecture dependency. Integers and floats codification depends on the architecture, thus it needs to be converted if working in different platforms (little endian, big endian). BinPos 1.22 AMBER coordinate/restart file with 6 coordinates per line and decimal format F12.7 (fixed point notation with field width 12 and 7 decimal places). restrt rst7 RST 1.22 Format of CHARMM Residue Topology Files (RTF), which define groups by including the atoms, the properties of the group, and bond and charge information. There is currently no tool available for conversion between GROMACS topology format and other formats, due to the internal differences in both approaches. There is, however, a method to convert small molecules parameterized with AMBER force-field into GROMACS format, allowing simulations of these systems with GROMACS MD package. CHARMM rtf 1.22 AMBER frcmod (Force field Modification) is a file format to store any modification to the standard force field needed for a particular molecule to be properly represented in the simulation. AMBER frcmod 1.22 AMBER Object File Format library files (OFF library files) store residue libraries (forcefield residue parameters).

Each subunit can be described with BpForms (http://edamontology.org/format_3909) or SMILES (http://edamontology.org/data_2301). BcForms uses an ontology of crosslinks to abstract the chemical details of crosslinks from the descriptions of complexes (see https://bpforms.org/crosslink.html). BcForms is related to http://edamontology.org/format_3909. (BcForms uses BpForms to describe subunits which are DNA, RNA, or protein polymers.) However, that format isn't the parent of BcForms. BcForms is similarly related to SMILES (http://edamontology.org/data_2301). BcForms 1.24 nq N-Quads is a line-based, plain text format for encoding an RDF dataset.

The process of demultiplexing (dividing sequence reads into separate files for each index tag/sample) may be performed automatically by the sequencing hardware. Alternatively the reads may be lumped together in one file with barcodes still attached, requiring you to do the splitting using software. In such cases, a "mapping" file is used which indicates which barcodes correspond to which samples.
