YEAST EXAMPLE PRINT

PLEASE NOTE: There are a few CPU-time intensive processes in this procedure. You should be sure your HTTP Timeout has been adjusted on your server before you proceed. Please see the install README for more details.


CREATE SUIDs

The first thing that we are going to do is create SUIDs for a set of yeast sequences. This involves the following steps.

On the LAD server copy the file:

/lad/install/yeast_example_print/yeast_pre_suids.txt

to

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/

In a web browser go to the link on the main page that says:

"Sequence IDs (SUIDs) (by file)"

Select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" from the organism drop-down.

Change the file name at the bottom of the screen to:

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/yeast_pre_suids.txt

Press "Assign SUIDs".



RETRIEVE SUIDs into PLATE FILE

On the LAD server copy the file:

/lad/install/yeast_example_print/yeast_retrieve_suids_into_plate.txt

to

/home/curator/ORA-OUT

In a web browser go to the link on the main page that says:

"Get SUIDs for Name in Plate File"

Select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" from the organism drop-down.

Change the file name at the bottom of the screen to:

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/yeast_retrieve_suids_into_plate.txt

Press "Get SUIDs".

The following file will be created:

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/yeast_retrieve_suids_into_plate.txt.SUID.oral

You will notice that the SUIDs have been merged into this file for the given sequence names.



ENTER PLATES

In a web browser go to the link on the main page that says:

"Enter Plates (by file)"

Select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" from the organism drop-down.

Change the file name to:

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/yeast_retrieve_suids_into_plate.txt.SUID.oral

Set "Plate Name Prefix" to:

SC

Select a "Project":

Yeast

Type a "Plate Source":

Somewhere

Leave the rest of the fields as their defaults.

Press "Enter Plates"

This process can be time intensive - please be patient.

PLEASE NOTE: This process is time intensive due to heavy constraints that are utilized to protect the database from corruption. This
process will complete and the delay is very much worth the assurance that your data will always be protected and valid.


SELECT PLATES

Now it is time to select the plates back from the database.

In a web browser go to the link on the main page that says:

"Select Plates"

Select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" from the organism drop-down.

Select "SC" from the middle column below that.

Change the file name to:

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/sc_plates.txt

Press "Select Plates"



ENTER PRINT

If the plates had been used out of sequence we would now edit this generated file [/home/curator/ORA-OUT/sc_plates.txt].

We will not do this, however.

In a web browser go to the link on the main page that says:

"Enter Print and Spotlist"

Select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" from the organism drop-down.

Change the File Name to:

/home/curator/ORA-OUT/sc_plates.txt

Set the Print Name to:

SC1

Set the Tip Configuration to:

32 Tip

Number of Slides:

400

Columns per Sector:

24

Rows per Sector:

19

Column Spacing:

175

Row Spacing:

175

Description:

Some description.

I also selected "Rotate Plates".

Press "Enter Print".

This is also a time consuming process - please be patient.

PLEASE NOTE: This process is time intensive due to heavy constraints that are utilized to protect the database from corruption. This
process will complete and the delay is very much worth the assurance that your data will always be protected and valid.


LOAD AN EXPERIMENT

It is now time to load an experiment.

We have provided a sample GPR, GPS, and two TIFF files for this purpose.

On the LAD server, copy the files:

/lad/install/yeast_example_print/250*

to

/home/curator/incoming

In a web browser go to the link on the main page that says:

"Experiments and Results"

Select "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" from the organism drop-down.

Press "Enter Experiments into LAD"

On the next screen...

For LAD Print Name select:

SC1

Type "Test" for the Slide Name.

Select 250.gpr for the Data File Location.
Select 250.gps for the Grid File Location.
Select 250_ch1.tif for the Green Scan File Location.
Select 250_ch2.tif for the Red Scan File Location.

Type "Test" for the LAD Experiment Name.

Type "Test" for the LAD Experiment Description.

Select "Test" for the Category and Subcategory.

Type "Green" for the CH1 Description.
Type "Red" for the CH1 Description.

Now press "Load Experiment into LAD"

The experiment is loaded into the queue.

In order to process it, you will need to execute the following program on the server:

/lad/www-data/cgi-bin/SMD/queue/LoadExpt2DB.pl oral

This program should be setup for CRON based operation. See the install README file for more details.

NOTE:

There is a sample "batch" experiment file included in the "/lad/install/yeast_example_print" directory. You may utilize it to see an example of loading may experiments at once.

The file is --> "yeast_batch.txt".

Please refer to the batch submission of experiments in the online help for more information.
