RAD Study-Annotator Highlights • Study-centric: allow entering of information relevant to a given microarray study • Data access is restricted by Group and Project • Modular design • Flexible entry points • Batching
Flexible entry points • There are dependencies between forms. • The Study-Annotator tutorial provides guidelines in this regard. • However access to all forms is opened at all times. • Allow choice of depth-first or breadth-first annotation according to which best optimizes batching for the data at hand. • Allow entering of info at different times, without having to fill it all in in the same session.
Batching • If there are similarities between separate instances of a type of entry (eg. BioSource), insert n copies of the entry to be slightly modified later. • Assays #1-20 all scanned with GenePix scanner, using laser power=0.75 • Enabled whenever possible • There are various combinations in which the forms can be used so as to batch the information. The optimal combination for a given dataset will depend on the particular kind of information available for that dataset.

Study Design • One study typically has one study design. • Each study design can fall into one or more “study design type” categories (MGED Ontology: ExperimentalDesignType). • A study design type can be considered as a high-level description of the experimental design. • Examples: replicate_design, dye_swap_design, dose_response_design, time_series_design
Ontology Can add terms
Study Factor • For each study design there might be one or more factors of interest. • The assays in that study design can be grouped together according to the values of such factors. • Study factor is of certain “study factor type” (MGED Ontology: ExperimentalFactorCategory). • Examlpes: developmental_stage, genetic_modification, compund_based_treatment
An Example • Study design: • Name: cell comparison design • Type: • development_or_differentiation_design • species_design • cell_type_comparison_design • Study Factors: • hematopoietic cell population (LT-HSC, ST-HSC, HSC, LCP, MBC) • Type:BioMaterialCharacteristicCategory → developmental_stage • mouse developmental stage (fetal, adult) • Type:BioMaterialCharacteristicCategory → developmental_stage • species (human, mouse) • Type:BioMaterialCharacteristicCategory → organism • stem cell type (hematopoietic, embryonic, neural) • Type: BioMaterialCharacteristicCategory → cell_type
