Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records

1.2K
Source-oriented records, or SOR, are medical record-keeping organized by the data source. The SOR system was first developed in the mid-1900s to organize the growing patient data in hospitals and other healthcare facilities.
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.

Data Collection by Experiments01:13

Data Collection by Experiments

24.5K
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Microbial Classification System01:24

Microbial Classification System

55
Classification is the process of organizing organisms into hierarchically inclusive groups based on their phenotypic similarities or evolutionary relationships. A species comprises one or more strains, and closely related species are grouped into genera. Genera are further classified into families, families into orders, orders into classes, and so forth, up to the domain level, which is the broadest taxonomic rank derived from a combination of phenotypic and genotypic data.The nomenclature of...

Data Reporting and Recording

4.8K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Methods of Documentation VII: EMR

873
Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) primarily center around electronically documenting patients' health information within a single healthcare organization or practice. They contain essential clinical data related to a patient's medical history, diagnoses, medications, treatment plans, lab results, and other pertinent information relevant to the specific encounter or episode of care. EMRs are designed to streamline documentation and workflow processes within individual healthcare...

Area of Science:

  • Synthetic Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Data Management

Background:

  • Reproducibility in synthetic biology is hindered by fragmented data standards and incompatible software tools.
  • Current data exchange methods often lead to information siloing and data loss.
  • A unified approach is needed to connect disparate digital repositories for experimental data and metadata.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a tool that enables uniform data capture, encoding, and exchange for synthetic biology experiments.
  • To create a system that links experimental data and metadata across different digital repositories.
  • To enhance the reproducibility and accessibility of synthetic biology research findings.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the Experimental Data Connector (XDC) tool.
  • Encoding experimental data and metadata into standard formats.
  • Utilizing a single Excel Workbook template for data capture.
  • Automating data upload to Flapjack (experimental data) and SynBioHub (metadata).

Main Results:

  • The XDC tool successfully captures and encodes experimental data and metadata.
  • Connected and exchangeable experimental data sets are generated by linking Flapjack and SynBioHub.
  • Consistent data handling is achieved through standardized formats and a unified capture template.
  • Integration with existing workflows allows for semi-automated data capture.

Conclusions:

  • The Experimental Data Connector (XDC) provides a solution for connected, exchangeable experimental data in synthetic biology.
  • Standardized data capture and repository linking improve reproducibility and prevent data siloing.
  • The XDC tool facilitates seamless integration into experimental workflows, enhancing data management efficiency.
