\details{
  This function just produces a template of sample information with some default fillings. Users need to fill in the detailed sample descriptions, especially the Sample\_title, Sample\_description and some protocols. No blank fields are allowed. Function \code{\link{produceGEOSubmissionFile}} will produce the file GEO submission file based on this sample information. The users should not use "\#" in the description as it is a reserved character.
}
\value{
	Save the result as a Tab separated text file or return a data.frame if the fileName is NULL.
