Hi, While we're on the subject... how do people (and how does BASE) handle multiple experimental factors.
Say a two-colour experiment was testing the following "conditions" mutantX vs. wild type in males mutantY vs. wild type in males mutantX vs. wild type in females mutantY vs. wild type in females There are are two experimental factors here, "GeneticModification" and "Sex". I guess the correct way to handle the downstream analysis (e.g. averaging and colouring in ExperimentExplorer) is to treat this as a compound annotation e.g. GeneticModification:Sex. I don't think BASE would handle this at the moment (you can only select one annotation at a time in the "Annotation summary" menu), although it might be possible to produce the desired outcome by crudely creating a "GeneticModification:Sex" AnnotationType. Would you ever have two or more experimental factors that should not be treated in this manner? I can't think of a scenario off the top of my head. 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: Splunk Inc.
