- <h3>Module Description:</h3>
- <p>The Tripal Stock Module provides functionality for adding, editing, deleting and accessing chado stocks. The stock module was designed to store information about stock collections in a laboratory. What is called a stock could also be called a strain or an accession. There is a lot in common between a Drosophila stock and a Saccharomyces strain and an Arabidopsis line. They all come from some taxon, have genotypes, physical locations in the lab, some conceivable relationship with a publication, some conceivable relationship with a sequence feature (such as a transgene), and could be described by some ontology term. For more information about the chado Stock Module <a href="http://gmod.org/wiki/Chado_Stock_Module">see the GMOD Wiki Page</a></p>
- <h3>Setup Instructions:</h3>
- <ul>
- <li><p><b>Set Permissions</b>: By default only the site administrator account has access to create, edit, delete
- or administer analyses. Navigate to the <?php print l('permissions page', 'admin/user/permissions')?> and set the
- permissions under the 'tripal_stock' section as appropriate for your site. For a simple setup, allow anonymous
- users access to view content and create a special role for creating, editing and other administrative tasks.</p></li>
- <li><p><b>Set Ontologies</b>: Since at the time of this modules developement there is no accepted ontology for
- describing stocks, their properties and relationships, this module allows you to select the controlled
- vocabularies (CVs) in your Chado Database you would like to govern these data. To Set the Controlled Vocabularies for Stocks:
- First, ensure your Controlled Vocabulary is in Chado. This can be done by either loading an existing Ontology into Chado using
- the <a href="tripal_cv/ontology_loader">Tripal Ontology Loader</a> OR create your ontology from scratch by first
- <a href="tripal_cv/add_cv">creating a controlled vocabulary</a> and then <a href="tripal_cv/add_cvterm">adding terms to it</a>.
- Then go to the <a href="tripal_stock/configuration">Configuration Page for Stocks</a> and, in the "Set Stock Controlled Vocabularies" Fieldset,
- select the Controlled Vocaulary name for Stock Types, Stock Properties and Stock Relationship Types.</p>
- <ol type="i">
- <li>Stock Types: When you are creating stocks, the type of each stock must be indicated. This might include "DNA extraction", "Individual Plant/Animal" or even "Progeny Population".</li>
- <li>Stock Properties: This module also allows you to assign properties to any stock. Each property has a type and a value where type is required an value is not. Therefore, if you want to say that a stock was grown at 23 degrees Celcius then the Type would be "temperature grown at" and the value would be 23 degrees Celcius. As such the Stock Properties controlled vocabulary might include "temperature grown at", "diet", "extraction date", "stock location", etc.</li>
- <li>Stock Relationship Types: You can also specify relationships between stocks. For example, a stock of type="DNA extraction" (Stock 1a) is related to the stock of type="Individual Plant/Animal" (Stock 1) that it was extracted from. Thus you might specify the relationship Stock 1 is the source material for Stock 1a where the relationship type is "is the source material for". As such Stock Relationship Types might include "is the source material for", "is maternal parent of", "is individual of population", etc.</li>
- </ol>
- </li>
- <li><p><b>Set Permissions</b>: The stock module supports the Drupal user permissions interface for
- controlling access to stock content and functions. These permissions include viewing,
- creating, editing or administering of
- stock content. The default is that only the original site administrator has these
- permissions. You can <a href="<?php url('admin/user/roles') ?>">add roles</a> for classifying users,
- <a href="<?php url('admin/user/user') ?>">assign users to roles</a> and
- <a href="<?php url('admin/user/permissions') ?>">assign permissions</a> for the stock content to
- those roles. For a simple setup, allow anonymous users access to view organism content and
- allow the site administrator all other permissions.</p></li>
- <li><p><b>Sync Stocks</b>: if you chado database already contains stocks, they need to be sync'd with Drupal.
- This creates Drupal Content including detail pages for each stock (known as nodes in Drupal). To sync' Chado
- with Drupal simply go to the <?php print l('stock configuration page', 'admin/tripal/tripal_stock/configuration') ?>
- and in the "Sync Stocks" Fieldset select the Organisms whose associated stocks you would like
- to sync. If this list doesn't contain an organism which you know is in Chado go to the
- Organism Configuration Page and make sure it is sync'd with Drupal.</p></li>
- </ul>
- <h3>Features of this Module:</h3>
- <ul>
- <li><p><b><a href="../../node/add/chado_stock">Create a Generic Stock:</a></b>
- This allows you to create content in your drupal and chado for a stock (only the unique stock identifier
- is duplicated). A Generic Stock must have a unique name, a type and an organism. In addition, you can
- optionally supply a more human-readable name, a primary database reference and even a short description.
- The Create Generic Stock form is a multistep form with the first step creating the Basic stock (stored
- in the stock table). All the remaining steps are optional and descriptions of each follow:</p>
- <ol type="i">
- <li>The Next Step is to Add Properties to the newly created stock. Properties allow you to specify
- additional details about a given stock. Since the types of properties you can add are goverened by
- a controlled vocaulary that you can create, you have complete control over what additional properties
- you want to allow.</li>
- <li>Then you can Add External Database References. A Database Reference can be thought of as a
- synonym for the current stock where you want to specify a source for that synonym. The source
- would then be thought of as the database where a database can either be online and provide automatic
- linking out to the synonymous record or offline and simply be a text name of the source. To create a
- database reference with a given source you must first add the database to
- chado <?php print l('here', 'admin/tripal/tripal_db/')?><a href="tadmin/tripal/tripal_db/add_db">here</a>.</li>
- <li>Finally you can Add Relationships between Stocks. This allows you to specify, for example, the source
- material of a stock or one of it's parents. To create a relationship between your newly added stock and
- another stock, the other stock must first be created as this one was. Also, since the types of
- relationships is governed by a controlled vocabulary, just like with properties you have complete
- control over which relationships you want to allow. Once you click "Finish" you will be re-directed
- to the Details Page of the new Stock.</li>
- </ol>
- </li>
- <li><p><b>Details Page of a Stock:</b> Each stock get's it's own page on this website. This page is meant
- to give an overall picture of
- the stock including listing the basic details, as well as, all properties, database references and
- relationships. To understand where it is -All page content in Drupal is known as a node and is given
- a unique identifier or nid. Thus every drupal page has a path of node/[nid]. You can get to the
- Details page for a given stock from either of the stock listings described below.
- If you want to customize the look of the stock Details page simply copy the PHP/HTML template
- node-chado_stock.tpl.php from theme_tripal to the base theme you are currently using. Then edit it
- as desired. There are plans to integrate this details page with Drupal Panels which will provide a
- much more user-friendly and no-programming-needed method to customize this page.</p></li>
- <li><p><b>Adding/Updating/Deleting Stocks and their Properties, Database References and Relationships:</b>
- The Stock Details Page also acts as a landing pad for updating/deleting stocks.</p>
- <p>To <b>update a stock</b>,
- go to the stocks details page and click on the Edit tab near the top of the page. This tab will only be
- visable if you have permission to edit chado stock content (See post installation steps above for
- information on setting user permissions). </p>
- <p>To <b>delete a stock</b>, click the Edit tab and
- then near the bottom of the form, click the Delete button. This will delete the entire stock including
- it's properties, database references and any relationships including it.</p>
- <p>To <b>update/delete a given property of a stock</b>, click the "Edit Properties" Tab near the top of
- the stock details page. This form provides a listing of all existing properties for the given stock with
- form elements allowing you to change their value. After editing the properties you wanted to, simply click
- the "Update Properties" button to update all the properties for that stock. To delete a given property
- simply click the "Delete" Button beside the property you want to delete. You cannot undo this action!</p>
- <p>To <b>add a property to the given stock</b> simply fill out the "Add Property" form at the bottom of
- the "Edit Properties" Tab.</p>
- <p>For <b>Adding, updating and deleting Database References and Relationships</b> for a given stock is
- exactly the same as the method for properties. To edit Database References, click the "Edit DB References"
- tab and to add/edit/update stock relationships, click the "Edit Relationships" tab.</p>
- </li>
- </ul>
