Description

Issue description

The metadata import has hidden requirements which require previous knowledge. For example: it is not clear that the first column has to be "Sample" in order for the metadata to function correctly, e.g. in the t-test or ANOVA.
A description of the required format of the metadata .csv is necessary.
