Do you know if any of your users also use the Gene Pattern application server for analysis purpose, and has anyone ever looked into ways to integrate Labkey with GenePattern? They seem remarkably complementary, and I am considering researching how we might get these two system to talk to each other.

Hi Michael,

We've looked at GenePattern a number of times and agree that it would be very nice to enable some sort of link between it and LabKey Server. So far, we haven't done any deep investigation into what kind of integration would be possible, but it seems like using GenePattern as a way to run an analysis much as we've enabled for Galaxy makes a lot of sense. Under that model, LabKey Server launches jobs, waits for the analysis to complete, and then imports at least some of the results.

You can find the Galaxy code in <LABKEY_SOURCE_ROOT>\server\customModules\genotyping\src\org\labkey\genotyping\galaxy\.

Thanks,
Josh
