## TSV (Tabular data)

In ODM, you can upload any tabular data formatted as **TSV (tab-separated values)**.
As long as your file represents a data frame, ODM can import and index it. A data frame is a data structure that
organizes data into a two-dimensional table of **rows** and **columns**, similar to a spreadsheet.

A data frame contains two main elements:

- **Features**: These are the entities measured in an experiment (e.g., genes, proteins, metabolites,
pathways, sales regions, etc.).
- **Measurements (or values)**: These are the actual values recorded for each feature under different
conditions (e.g., gene expression values, protein abundance, pathway activity, sales volume, etc.).

### Simple Data Frame

The example below demonstrates the simplest and most common type of data frame.

![Data Frame Simple](../doc-odm-user-guide/doc-odm-user-guide/images/data-frame1.png)

Here, the features (genes)
are listed in the first column, while the rest of the table contains measurements of gene expression across
multiple samples. Each column represents a different sample, with the column name indicating the
corresponding dataset of gene expression values.

### Complex Data Frame

![Data Frame Complex](../doc-odm-user-guide/doc-odm-user-guide/images/data-frame2.png)

This format provides a wide range of data types that can be uploaded and indexed in ODM.
