Attributes are used to describe your samples. Examples of sample attributes include treatment group, age, sex, and time point. Attributes can be added manually or using a tab-delimited text file with samples on rows and attributes on columns where the first column contains the sample IDs. In this tutorial, we will add one attribute, Treatment, manually.
