Workflows

Perform a search through NCBI eUtils eSearch (3)

• Download

This workflow takes in a search term and a database (e.g. snp, gene, protein) in which to perfom the search over. The result is an xml file containing summary information about the search term. Example input for this workflow are given below: database: pubmed terms: cancer AND diabetes

Escherichia coli : From cDNA Microarray Ra... (1)

• Download

This workflow takes in a CDNA raw file and a normalisation method then returns a series of images/graphs which represent the same output obtained using the R and bioconductor. Also retruned by this workflow are a list of the top differentialy expressed genes (size dependant on the number specified as input - geneNumber), which are then used to find the candidate pathways which may be influencing the observed changes in the microarray data. By identifying the candidate pathways, more detailed...

Basic eSearch/eFetch cycle (1)

• Download

This is a basic eSearch/eFetch workflow created with taverna and using eUtils from NCBI. It accepts a query term as input (at the moment, for testing purposes, this is a fixed string), interrogate eSearch to retrieve the list of related sequences on the Nucleotide database, and use eFetch to retrieve the corresponding sequences. I wrote this workflow one year ago, when I was trying to understand how taverna and eUtils work; I suspect it broken, and of course it could be enhanced, so I am ...

Pathway to Pubmed (1)

• Download

This workflow takes in a list of KEGG pathway descriptions and searches the PubMed database for corresponding articles. Any matches to the pathways are then retrieved (abstracts only). These abstracts are then returned to the user.
