Viewport Size Testing Instructions

• We were tasked with testing the viewport on the GRNsight Beta.
• The files we used for testing were titled
  • 21-genes_31-edges_Schade-data_input.graphml,
  • 21-genes_31-edges_Schade-data_input.sif
  • 21-genes_31-edges_Schade-data_input.xlsx.
• The files were downloaded from this website.
• We followed the testing instructions on this PDF.

Viewport Size Testing Results

Failed Test Explanation

Tests 13, 14, and 15 were designed to test the "Fit to Window" functionality of the viewport. We noticed that when the browser window was small (less than 1317 pixels wide) the viewport extended further than the scope of the browser. Figure 1 highlights the scroll bar that appears at the bottom of the browser window (which appears when the viewport extends beyond the width of the browser window.)

API

The database my partner and I worked with was UniProt. By executing the first two commands given below, one can successfully find the gene ID number for any Saccharomyces Cerevisiae gene if the gene name is known. Simply replace <gene name> with the name of the gene you are looking for (e.g. ASP1, ACT1, etc.)

gene_name=<gene name>

gene_id=$(curl -L "http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=559292+$gene_name&sort=score" | grep -o -P '(?<=tbody><tr id=").*(?=\" class=" entry s)')

curl -L "http://uniprot.org/uniprot/$gene_id.xml" 

We used this URL http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/?query=559292+$gene_name&sort=score as part of the command. The number 559292 refers to the Taxon ID that represents Saccharomyces Cerevisiae in UniProt.

In order to find the raw data about the gene, you then simply execute the third command given above. UniProt returns this information in XML format.

Acknowledgements

• I'd like to thank my homework partner, Eddie Bachoura, for meeting with me on Monday afternoon (10/30). We worked on the assignment together and were able to finish in a couple of hours.
• While I worked with the people noted above, this individual journal entry was completed by me and not copied from another source.
