Uploading Data

If you have an empty project, you can upload data into it.

Supported File Types​

  • Production: CSV (.csv), TSV (.tsv), TXT (.txt)
  • Local development (localhost:5170, used by developers): all development-supported file types, including H5AD (.h5ad), CSV (.csv), TSV (.tsv), and TXT (.txt)
  • MDV Projects: ZIP archives created with mdvtools

Uploading Files via Web Interface​

  1. Navigate to your project or create a new one.
  2. For regular files: Drag and drop into the upload box.
  3. Preview the file contents and click OK to upload.
  4. Large AnnData .h5ad files (>5GB) should be uploaded as part of a project rather than via the upload button.

Data Display After Upload​

Once uploaded, the data is displayed in appropriate views:

  • Tabular data appears as a single table.
  • AnnData splits into a cell table and gene table.
  • Images appear in the image viewer.
  • Imported projects maintain their original structure and views.
