So even though the two samples/biosources each have an annotation (one "male" one "female"), you would recommend that the raw bioassay should inherit only from one. As discussed here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00907.html inheriting from more than one item leads to undefined behaviour. I'd like to suggest that one should be able to inherit annotations from multiple biosources in a defined order (e.g. ch1, ch2). Alternatively, some innate ordering of the labelled extracts with respect to hyb (again in channel order). > dye-swapped hybridization should be imported so that the 'male' channel > is the same as for the one not dye-swapped.

Yes I agree that the BASE1 approach (different import configs for dye-swapped hybs) is the way to avoid ratio mixups/complications during analysis. cheers, Bob -- Bob MacCallum | VectorBase Developer | Kafatos/Christophides Groups | Division of Cell and Molecular Biology | Imperial College London | Phone +442075941945 | Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
