I'm trying to use Cummerbund in Galaxy, but it gives the option of "use backend database from history" or "build backend database using CuffDiff output." I've tried googling it, but I can't figure out: what is a backend database here? Does one need to be built to use Cummerbund?

One of the principle benefits of using cummeRbund is that data are stored in a SQLite database. This allows for out-of-memory analysis of data, quick retrieval, and only a one-time cost to setup the tables. By default, cummeRbund assumes that all output files from cuffdiff are in the current working directory. To read these files, populate the 'cuffData.db' database backend, and return the CuffSet pointer object, you can do the following.
> library(cummeRbund)
> cuff<-readCufflinks()
> cuff

The backend database is a database built from all the files.
I don't use Galaxy, but I have used cummeRbund directly extensively.
I assume the question is whether you want to use the database previously built or rebuild one.
Generally, you don't need to rebuild the database.
Building the database takes time.
By default, cummeRbund only builds the database once, the first time it is run.
If however, you have rerun Cuffdiff, you'll want to regenerate the database to squash the older one. Otherwise, the database used by cummeRbund will continue to be the one generated with the older run of Cuffdiff.
When you are running cummeRbund, you sometimes have to delete the older cummeRbund database to ensure that cummeRbund builds a new one, based on the most recent Cuffdiff run.Last edited by blancha; 10-14-2014, 11:44 AM.

Since you appear to be using a custom build of galaxy (that has these additional tools) we can't directly help in terms of what options you are seeing on your screen. You basically want all the files from cuffdiff available and be able to point to them when you are trying to run cummeRbund. Talk to your local galaxy admin, if you are not able to figure this out.

hi blancha,
you say I don't have to rebuild the database. However I get an error message when trying to access the database (via the pointer object "cuff") after reloading it:
"Error in sqliteExecStatement(con,statement, bind.data): RS-DBI driver: (expired SQLiteConnection)"
Can anyone help me, how to re-establish the SQL-connection?
Sorry, I'm very new to all this...
Thanks in advance

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
