This workflow uses Martijn Schuemie's protein synonym service to produce synonyms and a new query string from the input query term. The service is limited to proteins, enzymes and genes. An input query that is a boolean string will be split and processed, but the boolean logic of the input query will be lost.

Example of looping over asynchronous services. The dummy beanshell scripts represents the operations of an asynchronous submit-status-results style service, such as EBI's InterProScan and NCBI Blast. createJob creates a temporary file with the content "0". Filename retuirned as a "job ID". checkStatus reads the job, and return state "RUNNING" as long as the content is less than 10, increasing the number for each call. (As no actual job is being run) getResults reads the file content, with...

Pathways and Gene annotations for QTL region (2)

• Download

This workflow searches for genes which reside in a QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) region in the Pig, Sus scrofa. The workflow requires an input of: a chromosome name or number; a QTL start base pair position; QTL end base pair position. Data is then extracted from BioMart to annotate each of the genes found in this region. The Entrez and UniProt identifiers are then sent to KEGG to obtain KEGG gene identifiers. The KEGG gene identifiers are then used to searcg for pathways in the KEGG pathway ...

DOI Record Generator (1)

• Download

This workflow generates DOI record files for deposit, using data set metadata for the FLOSSmole project. It reads in an input file generated from a SQL query from an eprints database, and transforms the parts of the source file as necessary to create a comprehensive DOI deposit record. It also generates DOIs for the data sets. These metadata are inserted into an XML record template (based on the std-doi.xsd schema) and the individual resources are aggregated into a single file.
