Goals of Project

View the Goals

  1. Functional Database
    • Tasks include basic upload, storage and retrieval of BED files and their associated information.
    • The functions that remain to be added are edit, delete, and copy.
    • Some functions that need improvement are display of the appropriate fields, and forms for input (for example, using drop down menus instead of text fields that ask for table IDs)
  2. Bedtools interface
    • We envisioned the usage of several bedtools commands. The team only implemented one command, but given that they have a structure in place for interfacing with bedtools, it should be easy to add new commands
  3. Multiple users and user levels
    • The team set up the basic system in place for associating experiments with particular users, but there are a few bugs that still need to be worked out.
    • The team successfully implemented some tasks that are only available for admins, such as insertion and removal of platform, computational method, and wet-lab method.
  4. UCSC Genome Browser interface
    • none of which has been implemented
