track-experiments

What problem does it solve?

Researchers often lack a centralized, structured record of ENCODE experiments, their publications, and provenance, making reproducibility and data management challenging.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Track Experiments: Save ENCODE experiment metadata, publications, and pipeline info locally with notes.
• Manage Citations: Export and format associated publications in BibTeX, RIS, or JSON, facilitating accurate referencing in manuscripts.
• Compare Experiments: Assess compatibility of experiments based on key metadata fields to guide data integration.
• Export Metadata: Generate CSV, TSV, or JSON files for downstream analysis, reporting, or sharing.
• Trace Provenance: Log derived files and link them back to source experiments, ensuring reproducibility.
• Link External References: Attach GEO accessions, PMIDs, DOIs, and clinical trial IDs to enrich experiment context.

These features enable data stewardship, enhance reproducibility, and streamline research workflows involving ENCODE data.

Quick Start

Track an ENCODE experiment by supplying its accession number and making a note about its biological context.
