encode_track_experiment
Track ENCODE experiments by fetching metadata, publications, and pipeline information to store in a local database for analysis and citation management.
Instructions
Track an ENCODE experiment locally with its publications, methods, and pipeline info.
Fetches full experiment metadata from ENCODE and stores it in a local SQLite database along with any associated publications (PMIDs, DOIs, authors, journal) and pipeline/analysis information (software versions, methods).
This is like adding an experiment to your "library" - similar to Endnote for papers.
WHEN TO USE: Use to save an experiment to your local library with publications and pipeline info. Required before compare or citations. RELATED TOOLS: encode_compare_experiments, encode_get_citations, encode_export_data
Args: accession: ENCODE experiment accession (e.g., "ENCSR133RZO") fetch_publications: Also fetch and store publications/citations (default True) fetch_pipelines: Also fetch and store pipeline/analysis info (default True) notes: Optional notes to attach to this experiment
Returns: JSON with tracking result including publications and pipeline info found.
