  1. The Functional Genomics Experiment Model (FuGE) Andy Jones School of Computer Science and Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester

  2. History • Data sharing for ‘omics data tackled by various groups: • MAGE format for microarrays (MGED 2002) • PEDRo for proteomics (U. Man 2003) • Problems for functional genomics: • Common parts modelled differently • Labs performing both techniques must create 2 complex applications to describe similar concepts • Difficult to integrate data • Two efforts to merge MAGE and PEDRo (2004) • Merged models even more complex • Did not cover other techniques e.g. metabolomics • But, significant advantages if upstream details can be described only once!

  3. Introduction to FuGE • Functional Genomics Experiment model (FuGE) • Models common components across functional genomics experiments • Sample description, experimental variables protocols, multidimensional data Three uses of FuGE: • A data format for representing laboratory workflows • Supplement existing data formats with additional metadata to describe their context within a workflow • A framework for building new data formats

  4. FuGE structure Audit Description • Common: • General data format management • Auditing • Referencing external resources • Protocols Measurement FuGE exists as: 1. Object model (UML) UML  XML Schema 2. XML schema ...and Java STK, Hibernate relational DB binding etc. Ontology Protocol Common Reference FuGE • Bio: • Investigation structure • Data • Materials (organisms, solutions, compounds) • Theoretical molecules e.g. sequences, metabolites stored in a database Data Bio Investigation Material Conceptual Molecule

  5. = Inputs and outputs = ProtocolApplication Use 1: Experiment Workflow Material Material Treatment Treatment Material Material Data Treatment Data Acquisition Data Transformation Material Data Data

  6. Use 2: Tie Together External Formats ProtocolApplication inputMaterial outputData Material ExternalData mzData file Material can be used to describe the sample. This connects the MS data with a separation workflow File format definition Parser will exist to extract data / parameters from mzData file

  7. Use 3: Build extension data formats

  8. FuGE Status • Milestone 1 (Sept 2005) • Milestone 2 (Dec 2005) • Milestone 3 (May 2006) • Beta Java software toolkit • M2 (March 2006); M3 (Sept 2006) • FuGE v1 (candidate) • Currently in PSI standards process • Expected to stablise from process by March/April 07

  9. Formats extending from FuGE • MAGE version 2 (MGED) • GelML and GelInfoML (PSI) • analysisXML (PSI) • spML (PSI / MSI) • NMR (FuGE being evaluated by MSI) • Planned migration for mzData and other PSI formats • Upstream workflow description for all groups • investigation structure and variables, sample description etc. • Allows assembly of studies that cross-technology boundaries in one data format

  10. Conclusions • FuGE accepted by MGED, PSI and MSI • for developing future data formats • for describing parts of experiments common across technology • Moving toward convergence of data formats • Simplify process of developing new data standards • Will facilitate data integration and submission of data to public repositories • Improve the uniformity of data sets in public repositories thus facilitates querying Web: http://fuge.sourceforge.net/
