5.1. Motivation and Requirements
Motivation
Describe all meta-information necessary for reproducibility and downstream analysis (QC, normalisation, association with traits of interest, toxicological predictions). This includes investigation, sample and assay parameters and links to ontology terms.
This is a step towards:
| • | Integration with other toxicological resources |
| • | A sustainable infrastructure (well annotated experiments can be uploaded to public repositories) |
| • | Maximum and effective use of public data |
| • | Systematic modelling of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) |
Requirements
A SEURAT customized version of ISAcreator software (able to interface with the ToxBank Data Warehouse) is available from the help page of the ToxBank Data Warehouse.
