Author Information
Author(s): Liu Nian, Crasto Chiquito J, Ma Minghong
Primary Institution: Yale University School of Medicine
Hypothesis
The study aims to develop a comprehensive database for olfactory receptor gene expression data to facilitate research in olfaction.
Conclusion
ORMD serves as a data repository and project management system that integrates gene expression data with genomic information, aiding olfactory research.
Supporting Evidence
- ORMD integrates gene expression data with genomic and functional data of olfactory receptors.
- The database allows users to manage their projects and experiments related to olfactory research.
- ORMD provides access to both public and private gene expression data.
Takeaway
The ORMD is like a big library where scientists can store and share information about how smell genes work in mice.
Methodology
The database schema was implemented in Oracle, using a traditional relational database with some EAV model elements for flexibility.
Limitations
The database primarily serves as a private repository and does not enforce MIAME compliance for private data.
Participant Demographics
The study focuses on olfactory receptors in rodents, specifically mice.
