Adding Samples in Bulk

[Marilene Pavan]

Hi!

I've added 96 construct, in bulk, with no problem, using the csv file.

How do I add samples to my construction in bulk now?

I mean, I have 96 combinations, transformed in E.coli, and stored in a plate on -80oC.

Do I have to populate the position of each construction one by one?

Thanks,

Mary

I have them on excel and use a script to make API calls to load them.

If you use python, I can give you an example.

Hi Aitor, 

My name is Jason Lu, and I am the undergrad researcher/programmer for Professor Douglas Densmore's CIDARLAB, under Boston University's UROP research program and STEM Pathways. 

Mary is my PI / Supervisor for the summer, and she assigned me this task to import the ICE samples in bulk a couple of weeks ago. So far, I am using the Postman Application to try and connect to the API calls to load the samples, but I was not able to get the result I wanted.  

I do know Python proficiently and would be more than willing to take a look at the Python script for the API calls to load the samples. 

Sorry for not communicating earlier, been busy doing my other UROP stuff (abstract, conversion script, HTML website for CIDAR)

Hi Jason,

I am late to the party, but I wanted to point at this library which provides an ICE API client for the Python language:

https://github.com/Edinburgh-Genome-Foundry/icebreaker

It is not complete (we only add features as we need them) but it is already useful enough and we are open to contributions :)

Hopefully it will simplify the task of anyone needing to interact with ICE via a Python script or from a Python webapp.

I have the same in Javascript but it is not public yet.

Cheers,
