Re: [base] How can I associate Illumina data with hybs (and samples)

 You can select which scan a raw bioassay belongs to from the Edit
 rawbioassay page.

Thanks Nicklas, this was what I was looking for (but at the wrong place).

 
   In order for the importer to be really
  useful I need to connect the raw data to samples in some way. From
 reading
  earlier posts it seems that connecting all the raw bioassays to one
 single
  scan is possible, but will there in upcoming base versions be more
 flexible
  association possibilities?
 
 We have discussed this and came to the conclusion that the current
 implementation is the most accurate representation of the process. The
 BASE model assumes that there is a one-to-one relation between a slide
 and hybridization. An Illumina slide has several (8 or more) arrays on a
 single slide. This doesn't fit the current model in all aspects. Some
 compromises has to be made. This is how we decided to do:
 
   * The slide is represented a single ArraySlide item in the database
   * The hybridization event links 8 (or more) labeled extracts to
 the slide (one for each array)
   * A single scan event represents the scanning
   * One raw bioassay for each array is created
 
 This will make is possible to accurately record scan and hybridization
 parameters without having to duplicate (8 times) the same data. The
 drawback is that the experiment validation will complain about the 8
 labeled extracts since it expects only 1 for 1-channel data. It will
 also complain about all labeled extracts having the same label. But
 these warnings can be turned off. Another drawback is that all 8 labeled
 extracts will be treated as parents to all 8 raw bioassays, even though
 there really is a one-to-one relationship between those.

I don't mind those drawbacks as long as the user can connect to one hyb (and
one sample indeirectly) from the Edit raw bioassay page.

[base] How can I associate Illumina data with hybs (and samples)

2007-10-11 Thread vegard nygaard

Hi I am testing out the Illumina importer and have some questions.

Can I connect the created raw bioassays to hybridizations (and indirectly to
samples)?  On the scan page I looked for a associate raw bioassay , but
only found the new raw bioassay. In order for the importer to be really
useful I need to connect the raw data to samples in some way. From reading
earlier posts it seems that connecting all the raw bioassays to one single
scan is possible, but will there in upcoming base versions be more flexible
association possibilities?

If the Illumina Importer cannot attach raw bioassays to samples I wonder if
I can use the Tab2Mage Importer or BatchDataImporter with Illumina data?


Best regards.

Yes. When you run the importer you have the option to select a scan that 
will be associated with the raw bioassays. The scan can be associated 
with a hybridization which is then associated with labeled extracts, and 
so on, up to samples.

  On the scan page I looked for a associate raw bioassay , but
 only found the new raw bioassay. 

You can select which scan a raw bioassay belongs to from the Edit 
rawbioassay page.
