<p>A relational database (1) for the storage of microbiological information. The database contains cDNA sequencing data (290, 300) and coresponding match logs (510, 515) indicating a correlation between presently identified cDNA sequences and previously known sequences. In addition, a variety of the tables that make up the database are used to store historical data related to the identification of a particular cDNA sequence. Such tables include biological source data (130); cell culture and treatment data (140); mRNA preparation data (150); cDNA construction data (170); and clone preparation data. The clone preparation data further includes tables containing data relevant to inoculation (200), preparation (210), excision (190), and a fluorometer (220, 230, 240). The interrelated information in the database allows various queries to be used to extract data for scientific analysis and other applications. For example an abundance analysis may be performed by using the database of the preferred embodiment to determine the frequency a particular RNA transcript appears in a certain source tissue.</p> |
