Dear BioMart users, I'm currently in a phase of creating a prototype of a knowledge base similar to the Pancreatic Expression Database (PED) but for Chronic Diseases, specifically COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) as a use case. This a project supported by the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona and the IDIBAPS research centre also located in Barcelona. The prototype aims at annotating expression experiments stored in a local MySQL database with the BioMart marts and also to check similarities between our local database and PED.
The first from a bunch of questions is whether the PED database is available as a mart or mart service so I can connect to that data source within BioMart. If so how can I connect to PED? The second questions comes from my experience dealing with the different release candidates of BioMart v.0.8. Are you planning to give training courses on BioMart (both from a functional and technical point of view)? If so please keep me updated. The final question is if you could tell me who should I contact to request/contract specific support for the development of our COPD knowledge base project. Yours faithfully, Isaac Cano
