A data frame containing metadata for samples from the Marthandan et al. (2016) study (GEO code GSE63577).

Usage

data(metadata_example)

Format

A data frame with 45 rows and 6 columns:

sampleID

Unique sample identifier.

DatasetID

Identifier for the dataset (e.g., "Marthandan2016").

CellType

Cell type, e.g. "Fibroblast".

Condition

Experimental condition ("Senescent" or "Proliferative").

SenescentType

Mechanism of senescence (e.g., "Telomere shortening" for senescent samples, "none" for proliferative).

Treatment

Treatment or age descriptor (e.g., "PD72 (Replicative senescence)" for senescent samples, "young" for proliferative).
