GeneX-2.0 DB: Reporter Table
Table TypeInheritsComment
DATAIdentifiable The Reporter table describes the genetic elements that are used as probes in gene expression experiments (e.g. the cDNA elements that are immobilized on a glass slide). They can be cloned genes, ESTs, etc.

Column Information
Column NameFull NameData TypeNot NULLComment
chromosomeChromosome Locationchar128false the chromosome on which the Reporter resides
clone_nameClone Namechar128false
clone_provider_con_fkClone Provider Contactintfalse useful for tracking where the sequence feature came from if the clone was provided by another source (an untested feature at best, shouldn't this be handled by the smp_fk??)
end_positionEnd Positionintfalse the location with respect to the origin of the chromosome
other_nameOther Namechar128false
other_typeOther Typechar128false an alternative name by which the entity is known (doesn't this want to be a restricted vocab??)
plate_columnPlate Columnchar128false column reference to indentify the well on the plate this sequence feature came from.
plate_identifierPlatechar128false Used to identify a source plate for this sequence feature This could be a reference to the spotting plate, or it could refer to the original clone library plate.
plate_rowPlate Rowchar128false Row reference to indentify the well on the plate this sequence feature came from.
provider_con_fkProvider Contactintfalse the researcher that provided the reporter info
rep_nameSequence Feature Namechar128true an identifier such as EST or ORF name, by which the entity is known in the lab using it is expression experiments
rep_pkAccession Numberserialfalse
rep_typeSequence Feature Typechar128trueconrolled vocab
sequenceSequencetextfalse may be used when dealing with ESTs that have not been submitted to a public database (won't be used for public version, but may be useful for local installations)
smp_fkSampleintfalse sample information for the Reporter this may be useful for identifying the state of the organism from which the sequence feature was obtained
spc_fkSpeciesintfalse the species to which the Reporter belongs
start_positionStart Positionintfalse the location with respect to the origin of the chromosome
