Registering Datafiles and Samples#

PART1: Registering/Uploading datafiles#

Step1: Download the datafiles provided in the IBISBA_WorkShop_Material :

  • 1.MassSpec_Results.xls

  • 2.ProteinModelReannotation.doc

Step2: Assuming you are already logged in click the “Create” button from the top-navigation bar and from the drop-down menu select “datafile” and a new page will open up:

  • Upload datafile(1.MassSpec_Results.xls)

You can also register a Data file by registering a URL to either another page or remote file

Step3: Fill in the sections using the following information:

Title: Proteins detected by high-throughput mass spectrometry of secretome Aspergillus Niger

Description: Secretome enriched fractions of A. niger N402 cultured under controlled conditions in defined synthetic media were analysed by high-throughput mass spectrometry

Projects: Assign this datafile to the project to which it belongs

  • Project : An inventory of Aspergillus niger secrotome*

Tags: Add some tag to the datafile which will help to describe it, For e.g. *Mass Spec Data

Click “Next

Step4: License and Permissions

License: From the list choose “Creative Common License

Sharing Policy: Choose “No access” if you wish to keep the datafile private

Click “Next

Associated Assays:

Associated this datafile to the ASSAY :“Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry” from the list You can also select an existing Experimental assay or Modelling analysis to associate with this Data file.

Click “Next

On this page you add additional properties to the datafile such as:

  • Associate it with other datafiles

  • Add associated publications

  • Events related to this datafile

Hit the “Create” button.

Optional Steps:

Once the datafile is created, using the “Actions” drop down menu you can

  • edit this file

  • manage the file

  • delete the file or

  • upload a new version

Using the “Explore” button you can:

  • view the contents of the file

  • plot the data

  • add annotation

PART2: Sample Registration#

To register Samples we have to create Sample Types. Sample Types are templates that detail the key information that needs to be included to describe a given sample correctly.

A Sample Type can be made in two ways:

  • By manually defining the attributes using a form

  • Uploading a spreadsheet that contains a Sample Template

  • Using the FAIR Data Station

In this section we will be creating Samples using a spreadsheet containing the Sample Type Template

Step1:

Download the file “3.Samples_A.Niger.xlsx” from the IBISBA_WorkShop_Material

Step2:

Assuming you are already logged in click the Create button from the top-navigation bar and from the drop-down menu select “Sample Types” and a new page New Sample Type will open up:

Choose the tab Use spreadsheet template

Step3:

Fill in the sections using the following information:

Title: Samples used for the Aspergillus Niger experiments

Description: Secretome enriched fractions of A. niger cultured under controlled conditions in defined synthetic media and analysed by high-throughput mass spectrometry

Projects: Assign to the project to which it belongs:

    • Project: An inventory of Aspergillus niger secrotome*

Step4: Permissions and template Upload

Sharing Policy#

Choose “No access” if you wish to keep the datafile private

ClickFile to Upload” : 3.Samples_A.Niger.xlsx and then

Hit the “Create” button

From here you will be taken to a page containing the metadata, and a list of the attribute names from the template file. Here you can select specific attribute types. You are also free to delete, rename or reorder the attributes.

Step5: Once Step 4 is completed click update. Your Sample Type can now be used to generate Samples.

Optional Steps:#

Once the datafile is created, using the “Actions” drop down menu you can

  • Edit Sample Type

  • Manage Sample Type

  • Delete Sample Type

Step6:

From here you can now create your samples using the

Create sample” button in the top menu

You’ll be directed to a New Sample page. Where you can add the following information:

Sample Name: Strain: Type:

Projects: Assign the Sample to the project to which it belongs:

    • Project: An inventory of Aspergillus niger secrotome*

Permissions and template Upload

Sharing Policy: Choose “No access” if you wish to keep the datafile private

Hit the “Create” button

Creating Samples from a template#

You can bulk-create samples by populating a template and uploading as a Datafile. Once uploaded it should be recognised as having originated from a sample type template, and an option to extract samples will be displayed as a button.

Step1:

Download the file “3.Samples_A.Niger.xlsx” from the IBISBA_WorkShop_Material

Step2: Assuming you are already logged in click the Create button from the top-navigation bar and from the drop-down menu select “datafile” and a new page will open up: Upload datafile(3.Samples_A.Niger.xlsx)

Step3:

Fill in the sections using the following information:

Title: Samples used for the Aspergillus Niger experiments

Description: Secretome enriched fractions of A. niger cultured under controlled conditions in defined synthetic media and analysed by high-throughput mass spectrometry

Projects: Assign this datafile to the project to which it belongs:

    • Project: An inventory of Aspergillus niger secrotome*

Click “Next

Step4: License and Permissions

License: From the list choose “Creative Common License

Sharing Policy: Choose “No access” if you wish to keep the datafile private

Click “Next”

Associated Assays: Choose the existing assay to which the Sample belongs

Click “Next”

On this page you can add additional properties to the datafile such as

  • Associate it with Discussion Channels

  • Add associated publications

  • Events related to this datafile

  • Associated Observations Units

Hit the “Create” button

Step5: From the top panel of options click “Extract Samples” and you will be directed to a new page

Step6: Select “Sample Type” from the list and click “Continue”. It will take a few moments to extract the Samples

Step7:

Click on the “Review Extracted Samples” and check whether the data looks right to you

Step8:

Click “Confirm” button and the samples will be assigned to your Project

Using the “Explore” button you can:

  • view the contents of the file

  • plot the data

  • add annotation

Optional Steps#

Once the datafile is created, using the “Actions” drop down menu you can

  • edit this file

  • manage the file

  • delete the file or

  • Register new version
