ExpressionExperiment

The experimental design used to determine the expression of some entity, defined by the entity_assayed, the specimen, the assay, the reagents (e.g., Antibody, Probe), the environmental conditions, and the reference. It groups ExpressionAnnotations; it may have its own notes.

Name Description
condition_relations None
created_by The individual that created the entity.
cross_reference None
curie A unique identifier for a thing. Must be either a CURIE shorthand for a URI or a complete URI
data_provider The organization (e.g. MOD) from which the data was sourced
data_provider_cross_reference CrossReference to the organization from which the data was sourced
date_created The date on which an entity was created. This can be applied to nodes or edges.
date_updated Date on which an entity was last modified.
db_date_created The date on which an entity was created in the Alliance database. This is distinct from date_created, which represents the date when the entity was originally created (i.e. at the MOD for imported data).
db_date_updated Date on which an entity was last modified in the Alliance database. This is distinct from date_updated, which represents the date when the entity was last modified and may predate import into the Alliance database.
detection_reagents Reagents used in the expression assay: e.g., construct, antibodies, probes.
entity_assayed The subject of the ExpressionExperiment. This will usually be a Gene, but may be a sequence feature, or a placeholder if the exact subject of the expression pattern is unknown (e.g., unknown epitope of an antibody).
expression_annotations The list of ExpressionAnnotations for a given ExpressionExperiment.
expression_assay_used The assay used to experimentally determine gene expression.
internal Classifies the entity as private (for internal use) or not (for public use).
mod_internal_id The model organism database (MOD) internal identifier for the object
obsolete Entity is no longer current.
primary_external_id The primary external (non-Alliance) database identifier/curie for the object. Note that this may be an external (non-Alliance member) identifier for an object, like a UniProt ID for a protein, and may act as the MOD's/Alliance member's primary key for the entity.
related_notes Holds between an object and a list of related Note objects.
single_reference holds between an object and a single reference
specimen_alleles The Allele(s) of the specimen assayed.
specimen_genomic_model The AffectedGenomicModel of the specimen.
unique_id A non-curie unique identifier for a thing.
updated_by The individual that last modified the entity.

    - Listing annotations under a single experiment facilitates data submission. However,
      it opens up the possibility that a single ExpressionAnnotation could be incorrectly
      submitted for many ExpressionExperiments; some business logic will be required
      to flag/prevent such instances.
