Search for Gene Expression Images using any Gene Name

Created: 2012-05-04 12:00:53      Last updated: 2012-05-08 10:05:24

This is a simple workflow demonstrating how to integrate multiple linked data sources using restful services in Taverna.

In this workflow it first searches for all possible gene names for a query gene from FlyBase repository, an authorative genetic database for Drosophila research, and then it uses returned gene names to search for gene expression images from Oxford FlyTED image repository.

Two Restful services were used:

Both services are part of the FlyKit toolkit and they are built using the Talis Puelia Linked Data API to expose a Restful service interface for Linked Data resources.

Some test input can be: schuy, Adh, or Act5C.

Some quick comments: Good use of REST activity and XPath activity. I would set Retries to 2 on the REST activities to deal with network errors, in particular for the second service which is called many times. Not sure why there is a merge with a single value inside the nested workflow, probably due to Taverna bug T2-495. Inside Taverna, under "Details", No "Example" value given on the workflow input port - I would prefer the example mentioned here, "schuy" to ...

    The workflow is right, so are the results. But you got 404 because our server has been down since January. We are in the process of repairing the disk.
