  • Organizing projects, data inputs and output

    Hello!

    Do you have any suggestions, pointers, references, models on how to organize projects and their correspondingraw data, rmarkdowns, results, etc?

    We do a lot of bioinformatics projects, most of them have as raw data, fastq files, alignments files, differential expression counts matrices, etc; we develop some kind of pipeline and data processing and as output have some kind of report that we generate, as well as output data. We need to organize this information so that we can answer for example:

    - What have we done for investigator X?
    - When was the last time that we did such and such analysis?
    - What was the output for the analysis we did for investigator X or project Y?
    - I need the output for project Y again.
    - For whom have we done type of analysis Z (e.g. Differential expression, etc.)
    - Project X that we did in 2010, what did it consist of? what was the input raw data, and output?

    And other things like this. Right now, for answering some of these things I basically do a very crude search on the directory tree, which is getting bigger and bigger, and rely on memory, past emails, etc. Dangerous.

    Any suggestions? Including any commercial software for helping with these kinds of things?

    Thanks,
    Ramiro

    Ramiro, you're gonna need a query-able database. If MySql is not on your favorites list, Microsoft Access has a business template that can be hacked to run a core facility. It's a pain to transfer old data, but it'll work for most of the things you've asked about. My suggestion is to do as much as possible using dates in the yyyymmdd format for starting projects.

      Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
      by seqadmin



      The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

      Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
      by seqadmin



      Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
