From: PulmonDB: a curated lung disease gene expression database
Flow chart of PulmonDB. PulmonDB was created using COMMAND by downloading, parsing and storing COPD and IPF public transcriptomic data into a MySQL database. Then, we remapped microarray probes to establish a uniform gene annotation, and we also created a controlled vocabulary for clinical and biological annotations for each sample. We created contrasts based on the original hypothesis, selecting a sample as the reference. Finally, the data were homogenized and subjected to a quality check.
