Rat Odorant Chemical Profiles and Sample Metadata from Australian Rattus Study

Two supplementary tables from a research paper on odorant differentiation in Australian Rattus species. Table S1 provides sample metadata and GenBank accession codes, while Table S2 contains Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry results for all study samples. The dataset is authored by Kevin C. Rowe and sourced from the Papers with Code platform under an Open Access (green) license.

Use Cases

• Correlating chemical odorant profiles with genetic data based on linked GenBank accession codes.
• Analyzing chemical differentiation between rat species based on GC-MS results.
• Studying the complexity of chemical signals in sympatric species based on the described research context.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a published scientific study, providing research context.
• Includes two distinct but related tables (sample metadata and analytical chemistry results).
• Contains GenBank accession codes, enabling potential integration with genetic databases.

Limitations

• Column names and data types are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
• The number of samples and rows is unspecified, limiting suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
