BATEx For Mac

BATEx is an easy to use data warehouse for array-based gene expression data of plants to enable experiment-spanning expression data analyses.

Data is integrated from various data sources, such as BarleyBase, AtGenExpress, AFGC, TIGR SGED and IPK's operational system FLAREX.

Currently, the BATEx systems supports the transformation regarding the first group. The sequence mapping (second group) and the normalisation of expression levels (third group) will be added to the presently existing data warehouse by degrees.

The following figure illustrates the architecure of the BATEx system. You can click on the red-bordered boxes to start the corresponding component or to get documentation, respectively.

Within the import process, parsers extract data from data sources and write the data into the staging area BATEx Stage using an import object model and import API.

Imported data is semi automatically transformed by curation and mapping tools. Transformed data is loaded into the basis database BATEx DB. Users or applications can access the system by a GUI or SOAP-based Web Services.
