Method Details

browse

List<Characteristic> browse(int start,
 int limit)

Browse through the characteristics, excluding GO annotations.

Parameters:

start - How far into the list to start

limit - Maximum records to retrieve

Returns:

characteristics

browse

List<Characteristic> browse(int start,
 int limit,
 String sortField,
 boolean descending)

Browse through the characteristics, excluding GO annotations.

Parameters:

start - How far into the list to start

limit - Maximum records to retrieve

sortField - sort field

descending - sor order

Returns:

characteristics

findExperimentsByUris

Map<Class<? extends Identifiable>,Map<String,Set<ExpressionExperiment>>> findExperimentsByUris(Collection<String> uris,
 @Nullable
 Taxon taxon,
 int limit,
 boolean loadEEs,
 boolean rankByLevel)

• CharacteristicDao.findExperimentsByUris(Collection, Taxon, int, boolean)

findByParentClasses

Collection<Characteristic> findByParentClasses(@Nullable
 Collection<Class<? extends Identifiable>> parentClasses,
 boolean includeNoParents,
 @Nullable
 String category,
 int maxResults)

Find characteristics that have a particular parent class or lack thereof.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if parentClasses is

findByUri

Collection<Characteristic> findByUri(String uri,
 @Nullable
 String category,
 @Nullable
 Collection<Class<? extends Identifiable>> parentClasses,
 boolean includeNoParents,
 int maxResults)

Looks for an exact match of the give string to a valueUri in the characteristic database

findBestByUri

@Nullable
Characteristic findBestByUri(String uri)

Find the best possible characteristic for a given URI.

findByValueStartingWith

Collection<Characteristic> findByValueStartingWith(String search,
 @Nullable
 String category,
 @Nullable
 Collection<Class<? extends Identifiable>> parentClasses,
 boolean includeNoParents,
 int maxResults)

Returns a collection of characteristics that have a value starting with the given string.

The value is usually a human-readable form of the termURI. SQL LIKE patterns are escaped. Use findByValueLike(String, String, Collection, boolean, int) to do wildcard searches instead.

 boolean includeNoParents)

Find characteristics that have a value (prefix) or value URI (exact match) matching the given string.

Parameters:

parentClasses - if not null, restrict to characteristics that have parents of the given classes.

includeNoParents - if true, include characteristics that have no parents.
