Replace assay results at the results data level

Replace assay results at the results data level Anthony Corbett  2013-05-17 08:22

I have seen where the assay framework allows one to replace runs with new data, but is it possible to do a replace at the results (data) level. Our use case is for bioanalyzer data where 10 samples run on a single chip. However, they may need to redo only a few of those samples and not the whole chip run.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

The General assay type (as well as those derived from it, such as assay types defined in file-based modules) allows editing of the results/data rows via a checkbox in the assay designer. This would allow you to effectively replace individual rows, either through the UI or LABKEY.Query APIs. However, we don't currently support inserting new rows via this mechanism.

You can add/update/remove rows via the LABKEY.Experiment.saveBatch() APIs though.

We don't have a mechanism similar to the replace runs functionality, where we keep both the old and new and link them together.

Thanks,
Josh
