folks-
i have checked into CVS a new GUS feature, gusreport.
gusreport prints tab-delimited reports on gus entities. so far it has
been configured to support gene and transcript reports, but can be
configured to report on anything you would like.
the basic idea is that you paste together into one report columns that
rely on a bunch of different queries. so, the report you make can be
much more powerful than what is possible with a single query.
a "guru" (possibly you) sets up the configuration of a report for others
to use (i have begun this for genes and transcripts).
a "user" calls gusreport, providing an sql query that designates the
set, say, of genes to report and a list of supported columns to include
the guru can always define new columns to add to the configuration.
To install gusreport:
- get the latest CVS version of GUS
- build GUS install -append
- rehash
to get help, just run gushome with no args.
