Genex-2 Schema Table Docs Updated jason_e_stewart - 2003-09-20 11:25 - GeneX Gene Expression Database The HTML versions of the Genex-2 schema have been updated and posted on the SourceForge WWW site at: http://genex.sourceforge.net/genex-2-schema.shtml (1 Comment) [Read More/Comment] Genex-2 Schema Table Docs Updated jason_e_stewart - 2003-06-10 21:49 - GeneX Gene Expression Database The HTML versions of the Genex-2 schema have been updated and posted on the SourceForge WWW site at: http://genex.sourceforge.net/genex-2-schema.shtml Weekly snapshot 2003-10-06 available jason_e_stewart - 2003-06-10 21:21 - GeneX Gene Expression Database The first weekly snapshot is now available at: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16453&release_id=164035 Major Changes Project CVS not being updated jason_e_stewart - 2003-06-10 21:14 - GeneX Gene Expression Database In order to prepare for a major reorganization of the server codebase, we have switched to using Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) as the main version control system for the project. Since SourceForge currently only offers CVS to projects, we are running the Subversion server off a private machine. Now using sf.net News System kingb - 2003-04-23 09:44 - GeneX Gene Expression Database The GeneX project, from now on, will be using the sourceforge.net news system for posting News. Each post will automaticly be posted on main page of the GeneX website (http://genex.sf.net). |

Nov 8th, 2002 - Weekly Status Updates Web Page
Oct 20, 2002 - First Beta release of GeneX 2.0.0
Oct 1, 2002 - GeneX 1.5.7 Released Aug 29, 2002 - Update Genex-2 Schema information can be found here (now with hyperlinks!!). Feb 20, 2002 - preliminary information now available discussing the future directions of GeneX. It includes links to timelines and project descriptions from the different sources that are currently funding GeneX development. Feb 8, 2002 - preliminary G2G information now available. Feb 6, 2002 - Added the GeneX Development page for helping coordinate GeneX developers. Jan 31, 2002 - GeneX and G2G talk given by Jason Stewart at the O'Reilly Bioinformatics Technology Conference . The slides for the talk are available here . Oct 4, 2001 - GeneX Sourceforge Web site is put in place, along with user access to the development site and CVS repository. September, 2001 - NCGR commits GeneX development to a fully Open Source model, enabling GeneX to become a truly community supported project August, 2001 - GeneX-Server-1.0.4 released Mar 3, 2001 - DataLoader project started to support large-scale, server-side data entry for GeneX. In Perl. Fewer annotation requirements. Jan 20, 2001 - Server install seems to be user-configurable; no longer need to be root to install the GeneX components (but still need root for some other components). (thanks to Micheal Pear for his input!) Jan 16, 2001 - Someone outside of NCGR (Michael Pear, UCSD) installs GeneX, loads their own data set with the Curation Tool and gets data back from a query. Jan 10th, 2001 - CyberT paper accepted |
| GeneX Description |
|
GeneX is an Open Source database system. It is
not a commercial-grade, plug and play system for
analyzing single sets of gene expression. The GeneX project consists of 4 parts:
|
| Open Source aspects of development |
|
GeneX is an Open Source Project. It includes a few
useful analytical tools as proof of concept, but it is still
an evolving system (tho it's now usable) and we encourage you
to install it, try to use it, complain about what doesn't
work, give us feedback about what you like and don't like. IF
you can give us specific details about an analysis or
interface, we'd certainly appreciate that. If you can give us
code that implements it, we'd really like that.
If you have programming skills and you're interested in moving the project along in areas where GeneX is lacking, please contact us and we'll try to help you get started. If you're a biologist in the area of gene expression and you an algorithm implemented or you see a better way of doing something, please let us know and we'll try to address your problem. We are going to attempt to follow one of the precepts of Open Source - release early and release often. We'll be following the style of Perl and the Linux kernel - there will be 'stable' version and a 'development' version. The stable version will not change very much over time except for bug patches. All the new stuff will happen with the developement version, and those who want the latest and greatest version will be able to check out the up-to-the-minute code from our anonymous CVS tree. Initially, all the GeneX developers will be NCGR employees or contractors, but we already have one external developer and hope to attract many more as people become aware of the system. As one who has been collaborating via anonymous CVs for a while, it's a really fun experience to see the code develop and change like a dynamic living thing from day to day. Bugs get detected, get corrected, and the code gets better. That's our hope for GeneX and we hope you can get involved as well. |
| What features do you want to see? |
| OK - here it is. Please tell us what features you desperately need, which would be really neat, even which you'd be willing to pay for (heh heh). Also tell where we've gone wrong (in your humble opinion). |
