The World Wide Web (WWW) presentation is designed to allow public access to the available 2-DE data together with logical connections to databases providing complementary information.
The service, which the team started working on last December, allows users to upload Excel documents, as well as CSV and JSON files and start working with them immediately (in the long run, the team plans to add direct connections to databases, too).
Manifold file exchange formats as well as connections to databases enable the examination of user data in the context of public resources.
Connection to the database is established via Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) and by specifying the database location and the JDBC driver, for example: This prompts for a password for the given username.
When the user follows the 'View Database' link, a connection to the database is established, and a table of all chromosomes that have been processed is shown, see Table 1.
Persistence frameworks such as Hibernate for instance may cache objects that are read from the database and avoid subsequent connection to the database.
The Java language was chosen together with the Java SE (Standard Edition) platform (Java) with the MySQL Server Community database (MySQL), the JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) driver for MySQL library (MySQL et al. 2017) to allow connection to the database and the iText library (iText) for creating an RD in PDF format.
Clotho assembly algorithms [20] produce files for liquid handling robot based on information provided by the Clotho connection to the database (e.g. well location, sample volume, etc).
