Outputs Available from Sheherazade

A variety of different types of reports and outputs available from Sheherazade. In all views, an XML Dump is possible. This report contains all of the information contained in the database for that view. Asking for an XML dump can result in a very large file being created. For this reason, XML dumps are the responsibility of the Lab Master, although that priviledge can be given to other lab members (see the Lab Master help page for more details).

All record types have the option of printing a few different outputs. Bar codes can be printed for all record types (if the lab master has defined certain variable). Printing is accomplished using the BarCode funcationality. See the Printing Bar Codes page for more information. Individual record reports can be generated for all record types using the Generate Report function found in the Report menu. The exact information contained within a report varies depending on the type of record.

Typical work group report

In the Work Group View (in the search window), users can create reports detailing actions that have been added to work groups. ORFs and Actions creates a report containing a list of all actions added to any work group in the lab. TargetDB creates an XML file that can be sumitted to the TargetDB database maintained by the PDB for structural genomics projects. Action Totals creates a file with the total number of different actions added. This report also cross references actions to individual lab members. Action Totals for a Period creates a report similar to the Action Totals report, but with user defined start and end dates.

Work group records have a few extra reporting and outputting options. Create Primer in the Work Groups menu allows the user to automatically generate a file containing primer sequence for ORFs within the work group. Sesame will create primers covering both the start and stop codons according to parameters specified by the user. Digestion Pattern in the Report menu creates a report containing the results of a virtual restriction enzyme digestion of all ORFs in the work group. Export Gcode creates an output suitable for importing into the DNAStar sequence analysis package.

WG record output parameters

In the Open Reading Frame (in the search window), users can create reports and outputs on the ORFs loaded into the database. ORF count for Restriction allows users to survey all ORFs for the presence or absence of particular restiction enzyme sites. Create BLAST Input creates a FASTA file suitable as an input for BLAST analysis. For Scoring creates an output containing key information related to prioritizing ORFs (this will be important largely for high throughput structural genomics projects). Export Data creates a CSV file of all of the targets currently listed in the ORF view.
