Lab Database
2011
GOAL: We want to create a web-accessible server for a MySQL database. The database will contain entries for samples, including plasmids, fragments, cell, and protein. Each entry will have information about the name of the sample, the owner, the date, the room and physical location, the label on the box and tube, the amino acid or DNA sequence, the strain name. The web server should be able to add, delete or edit entries and to search the database. The server should have a login page.
APPROACH: Learn how to make entries in MySQL. Learn how to make a web-base server page. Install a front end for MySQL on Bach1. Go through all of the freezer boxes. Label them in big letters viewable with taking the box out of the freezer. Identify the contents of each tube to the extent possible.
WHO CAN DO THIS PROJECT: Any undergraduate with programming experience and basic knowledge of molecular biology. The student should be skilled in Unix systems, HTML, and MySQL, or must be willing to learn.
