MouseID vs. Protocol_Animal #4

Open eholbrook opened 6 years ago

eholbrook commented 6 years ago

@lyonsm7 Is there a difference between the Protocol_Animal column and the MouseID column?

In some of the TEMPLATE files either column is completely empty, in others they contain the same values, and in others still MouseID is a number and Protocol_Animal contains a letter that is repeated for different MouseIDs.

lyonsm7 commented 6 years ago

I noticed that myself. For now, I recommend you treat those two columns as redundant. There may be a difference in general, but not yet in the preliminary data you have in front of you.

lyonsm7 commented 6 years ago

I would keep the MouseID column for now, and ignore the Protocol_Animal column.

KatieKey commented 6 years ago

When in doubt, go with protocol ID.

notes from this morning:

Different mice are grouped by treatment group (a, b, c,, d…) caged together Raw data is the protocol id Mouse ids are entered in after data is assembled Input/output: handle and keep every column and put in NA for any missing data Protocol animal and the dose group create the unique id Different spreadsheets are different mice Can add unique identifiers for mice across the different spreadsheets Drug concentrations won’t necessarily be linked across all spreadsheets:

Mice are infected in the same way across experiments so there should be cross comparisons possible with summary statistics
