The preferred method for importing a generic data spreadsheet into Partek ^® Genomics Suite ^® is as a text file. Here, we illustrate importing a list of genes with p-value and fold-change from an experiment comparing two conditions. 

...

The File Type section of the Import dialog includes a preview of the text file and import options (Figure 1). 

...

The next step is to identify where the data starts and where the optional header is found using Identify Column Labels, Start of Data (Figure 3). The line that contains the header (if present) must precede the data. If there are lines to be skipped in the file (like comments), they may only appear at the top of the file, before the header line or data begin.

...

• If the text does not appear properly, use the Specify the text encoding: drop-down menu to choose the correct encoding 

...

The final section of the Import .txt, .tsv, or .csv File dialog is Verify Type & Attribute of Data Columns (Figure 5). While data column type and attribute can be modified after import, it is easier and faster to select the proper options during import as multiple columns may be selected during this dialog.  

...

If Genomic data was selected in the Data Type section, the Configure Genomic Properties dialog will open (Figure 6). These options will be discussed in the next section when we add an annotation file.  

...

• Select OK 

The imported spreadsheet will open (Figure 7).
