Special Requests: Requests for services not available through standard interfaces such as requesting a custom dataset identifier; requesting a custom database query; and many others.
In 2007 we have added one more service to this: authors who have processed images or other pertinent and valuable datasets that are essential to their papers may submit such sets for permanent storage at the Chandra Data Archive site and refer to them in the manuscript through a custom Dataset Identifier.
Gene symbol, Entrez gene name, custom identifier, GEO Platform probe ID or GenBank accession number are accepted as gene identifiers: the first two by default, the others provided that the software has been appropriately set up.
When FreeYourID launched in February 2007, we dubbed it a personalized OpenID, because it allowed users to register a unique.name domain name (e.g. first.last.name) which in turn could be used as a custom, personal OpenID identifier, website URL and e-mail host.
Coordinates of each vertex (household) were extracted from the KML files into a dataset and assigned a unique identifier using a custom developed program.
The outdated gene annotation by Compugene (Mathavan et al, 2005) was updated by converting all Entrez Nucleotide identifiers of the probes to their respective Unigene identifiers using a custom Perl script and release 91 of Unigene.
Where duplicate Reporters have been given unique names within the array definition file, or there is a need to map a collection of features to a single reporter, a custom tab-delimited file containing the identifiers to be mapped can be loaded to allow Feature-Reporter mapping to be merged.
Sequencing data was parsed into individual extractions and identifier tags were removed using a custom tag-removal Perl script (M. Rasmussen, unpublished, University of Copenhagen).
Many metabolic reconstructions are published in spreadsheet format, using customs identifiers and nomenclature.
Reads for each parent and progeny were identified by their unique 12 bp barcode identifier and sorted into individual files using a custom python script.
