Tutorial on a new feature on the upcoming release of the ToxBank Data Warehouse - the Dashboard. By Dr. Glenn J. Myatt, Chief Scientific Officer, Leadscope, Inc.

An important new feature in the upcoming release of the ToxBank data warehouse (https://services.toxbank.net/) is the dashboard which is a way to view multiple investigation records in a single table. The investigations are summarized according to the biological sample used, the compounds, doses and timepoints used as experimental factors as well the protocols employed, technology used and endpoint generated.

The following tutorial will illustrate how to create a dashboard from multiple investigation records and then to export the results to use in a meta analyis of the data. This is illustrated through the use of the InCroMAP software (http://www.ra.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/software/InCroMAP/) used to understand the biological pathways corresponding to some transcriptomics experimental results.
