Updating data

Studies already created and existing in PanHunter, can be updated at any time via detailed study view. This can be done at any stage of data upload pipeline, regardless whether the study has been fully integrated into PanHunter or not.

Updating samples

In order to modify the sample metadata, to either correct or add additional information, it is possible to download and re-upload sample table files via the green Annotation tile in the detailed study view. This can also be done when the raw data have been added, processed and integrated already.

Study details

The process is similar to creating new samples as described in here, except that in this case it’s possible to start with sample table that is already available for the study.

  • Download button downloads existing sample table which can then be modified locally
  • Update button enables upload of updated, changed or newly created sample table. Please note that this will trigger sample table validation process again. Successful update of the sample table will overwrite existing sample table, update the sample information in the project and the additional or modified metadata will be available in PanHunter apps.

Notes

  • Depending on the app, reload the of the app in the browser might be required in order to see the new information. In new information is not available after reload, please close the app and wait three minutes to make sure the app process on the server stopped. Opening the app again will force a reload of all data which includes the new information added.
  • Samples will be available in PanHunter apps only when the value of the Status column in the sample table is set to Analyzed. This is usually done automatically when data has been processed and integrated. If sample information is modified, there is no need to change the status of samples unless changes have an impact on data processing and integration. In this case processing and data integration need to be re-run.

Updating data

In case update of data is required, this can be done for any stage at any time. To re-upload raw data or re-run processing and/or integration, please use Update button for respective data upload stage in the detailed study view.

Please note that updating raw or processed data requires re-integration of the data as well.
