DesignElementGroup


Represents MAGE Class DesignElementGroup
The DesignElementGroup holds information on either features, reporters, or compositeSequences, particularly that information that is common between all of the DesignElements contained.
Includes MAGE Class CompositeGroup
Includes MAGE Class FeatureGroup
Includes MAGE Class ReporterGroup

Columns

Column MySQL Type Oracle Type Nullable Description
WID BIGINT NUMBER No Warehouse identifier for this entity
DataSetWID BIGINT NUMBER No Reference to the data set from which the entity came from
MAGEClass VARCHAR VARCHAR2(100) No Discriminator column specifies type of object this row represents
Identifier VARCHAR VARCHAR2(255) Yes MAGE attribute Identifiable.identifier
An identifier is an unambiguous string that is unique within the scope (i.e. a document, a set of related documents, or a repository) of its use.
Name VARCHAR VARCHAR2(255) Yes MAGE attribute Identifiable.name
The potentially ambiguous common identifier.
ArrayDesign_FeatureGroups BIGINT NUMBER Yes Represents 1..n association between ArrayDesign and FeatureGroup
The grouping of like Features together. Typically for a physical array design, this will be a single grouping of features whose type might be PCR Product or Oligo. If more than one technology type occurs on the array, such as the mixing of Cloned BioMaterial and Oligos, then there would be multiple FeatureGroups to segregate the technology types.
DesignElementGroup_Species BIGINT NUMBER Yes Represents 1..1 association between DesignElementGroup and OntologyEntry
The organism from which the biosequences of this group are from.
FeatureWidth FLOAT NUMBER Yes MAGE attribute FeatureGroup.featureWidth
The width of the feature.
FeatureLength FLOAT NUMBER Yes MAGE attribute FeatureGroup.featureLength
The length of the feature.
FeatureHeight FLOAT NUMBER Yes MAGE attribute FeatureGroup.featureHeight
The height of the feature.
FeatureGroup_TechnologyType BIGINT NUMBER Yes Represents 1..1 association between FeatureGroup and OntologyEntry
The technology type of this design. By specifying a technology type, higher level analysis can use appropriate algorithms to compare the results from multiple arrays. The technology type may be spotted cDNA or in situ photolithography.
FeatureGroup_FeatureShape BIGINT NUMBER Yes Represents 1..1 association between FeatureGroup and OntologyEntry
The expected shape of the feature on the array: circular, oval, square, etc.
FeatureGroup_DistanceUnit BIGINT NUMBER Yes Represents 1..1 association between FeatureGroup and DistanceUnit
The unit for the feature measures.
