Greetings all!
I have been tasked with creating a database for one of our labs here
that basically collects metadata about various array data sets and makes
them searchable (eg: return to me a list of files where all people have
this particular marker so that I can download them). I found BASE2 as an
option, and have successfully deployed BASE2 to a web server here.
I have some questions:
- Is it possible to search keyworks? If so, can I do so across
multiple data sets or only within one at a time?
- Can I upload data that has already been transformed/normalized, or
only the raw?
- Is it possible to create a flat-file template containing metadata
about an experiment and then load that (rather than painstakingly adding
keywords and attributes one at a time)?
Just for perspective - my background is in computer science. I have
never worked in a lab and had never heard of Affymetrix until I was
assigned this project. My specialty is databases and web programming - I
am not tremendously familiar with the actual underlying science here.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!!
