Figure 2. MathIOmica OmicsObject Format.

Figure 2

The MathIOmica v.1 input format was redesigned to implement the 10.3+ Wolfram Language improvements to use associations (cf. dictionaries in Python). The data format is termed an OmicsObject, and is an association of associations with common identifiers as inner association keys across multiple samples. It addresses rapid sample identification, measurement and metadata all maintained for user accessibility and additionally accommodates missing values. In addition to the user having control of all aspects of the input data via Query commands on the OmicsObject representing the data, MathIOmica includes specialized functions designed specifically for creating and manipulating an OmicsObject.
