+# MariaDB Database Architecture
+
+The GeneNetwork database is running on MariaDB and the layout is almost carved in stone because so much code depends on it.
+We are increasingly moving material out into lmdb (genotypes and phenotypes) and virtuoso (all types of metadata), but this proves a lengthy and rather tedious process. We also run redis for cachine, sqlite for authentication, and xapian for search!
+
+In this document we'll discuss where things are, where they ought to go, and how the nomenclature should change.
+
+# Nomenclature
+
+These are the terms we use
+
+* Genotypes
+* Case or genometype: individual, strain, sample
+* ProbeData: obsolete
+* ProbeSetData: trait/case values
+* ProbeSetFreeze: points to datasets
+
+
+# The small test database (2GB)
+
+The default install comes with a smaller database which includes a
+number of the BXD's and the Human liver dataset (GSE9588).
+
+# GeneNetwork database
+
+Estimated table sizes with metadata comment for the important tables

+
+One of the more problematic aspects of GN is that there are two tables containing trait values. ProbeData contains expression data. ProbeSetData contains both 'classical' phenotypes and mRNA.

+## ProbeSet
+
+Comment: PLEASE CHANGE TABLE NAME and rework fields carefully. This is a terrible table but it works well (RWW March 2016). It is used in combination with the crucial TRAIT DATA and ANALYSIS pages in GN1 and GN2. It is also used by annotators using the UPDATE INFO AND DATA web form to correct and update annotation. It is used by Arthur to enter new annotation files and metadata for arrays, genes, proteins, metabolites. The main problem with this table is that it is doing too much work.
+
+Initially (2003) this table contained only Affymetrix ProbeSet data for mouse (U74aV2 initially). Many other array platforms for different species were added. At least four other major categories of molecular assays have been added since about 2010.
+
+1. RNA-seq annotation and sequence data for transcripts using ENSEMBL identifiers or NCBI NM_XXXXX and NR_XXXXX type identifiers
+
+2. Protein and peptide annotation and sequence data (see BXD Liver Proteome data, SRM and SWATH type data) with identifiers such as "abcb10_q9ji39_t311" for SRM data and "LLGNMIVIVLGHHLGKDFTPAAQAA" for SWATH data where the latter is just the peptide fragment that has been quantified. Data first entered in 2015 for work by Rudi Aebersold and colleagues.
+
+3. Metabolite annotation and metadata (see BXD Liver Metabolome data) with identifiers that are usually Mass charge ratios such as "149.0970810_MZ"
+
+4. Epigenomic and methylome data (e.g. Human CANDLE Methylation data with identifiers such as "cg24523000")
+
+It would make good sense to break this table into four or more types of molecular assay metadata or annotation tables) (AssayRNA_Anno, AssayProtein_Anno, AssayMetabolite_Anno, AssayEpigenome_Anno, AssayMetagenome_Anno), since these assays will have many differences in annotation content compared to RNAs.
+
+Some complex logic is used to update contents of this table when annotators modify and correct the information (for example, updating gene symbols). These features requested by Rob so that annotating one gene symbol in one species would annotate all gene symbols in the same species based on common NCBI GeneID number. For example, changing the gene alias for one ProbeSet.Id will changing the list of aliases in all instances with the same gene symbol.
+
+If the ProbeSet.BlatSeq (or is this ProbSetTargetSeq) is identical between different ProbeSet.Ids then annotation is forced to be the same even if the symbol or geneID is different. This "feature" was implemented when we found many probe sets with identical sequence but different annotations and identifiers.

+
+
+*** Comments
+
+I think the ProbeSetData table should be generalized to a 'phenotypes' table with an 'sample_id' column and a 'value' column.
+
+A new table 'samples' will link each sample against an 'experiment', an 'individual' and which in turn can link to a 'strain'.
+
+Experiment is here in a wide sense, GTex can be one - I don't want to use dataset ;)
+
+This means a (slight) reordering:
+
+phenotypes:  (id), sample_id, value
+samples:     experiment_id, individual_id
+experiments: name, version
+individual:  strain_id
+strains:     species_id
+species:     ...
+
+ProbeData is also interesting, because it has the same structure as ProbeSetData, but only contains microarrays. This tables should be one (when we clear up the cross-referencing) as they both contain phenotype values. Both are large tables.
+
+PublishData is another phenotype table with values only which can be merged into that same table. This data does not require the annotations of probesets(!)
+
+https://genenetwork.org/show_trait?trait_id=10031&dataset=BXDPublish
+
+So we have phenotype data in 3 tables with exactly the same
+layout. There is also TissueProbeSet*, but we'll ignore those for
+now. I think we should merge these into one and have the sample ref
+refer to the type of data (probeset, probe, metabolomics,
+whatever). These are all phenotype values and by having them split
+into different tables they won't play well when looking for
+correlations.
+
+ProbeSet contains the metadata on the probes and should (eventually)
+move into NoSQL. There is plenty redundancy in that table now.
+
+I know it is going to be a pain to reorganize the database, but if we
+want to use it in the long run we are going to have to simplify it.
+
+** ProbeSetFreeze and ProbeFreeze (/dataset/name.json)
+
+GN_SERVER: /dataset/HC_M2_0606_P.json
+
+ProbesetFreeze contains DataSet information, such as name, fullname of
+datasets, as well as whether they are public and how the data is
+scaled:
+
+select * from ProbeSetFreeze;
+| Id  | ProbeFreezeId | AvgID | Name         | Name2                              | FullName                                      | ShortName                                     | CreateTime | OrderList | public | confidentiality | AuthorisedUsers | DataScale |
+| 112 |            30 |     2 | HC_M2_0606_P | Hippocampus_M430_V2_BXD_PDNN_Jun06 | Hippocampus Consortium M430v2 (Jun06) PDNN    | Hippocampus M430v2 BXD 06/06 PDNN             | 2006-06-23 |      NULL |      2 |               0 | NULL            | log2      |
+
+Another table contains a tissue reference and a back reference to the cross
+type:
+
+select * from ProbeFreeze;
+| Id  | ProbeFreezeId | ChipId | TissueId | Name                                        | FullName | ShortName | CreateTime | InbredSetId |
+|  30 |            30 |      4 |        9 | Hippocampus Consortium M430v2 Probe (Jun06) |          |           | 2006-07-07 |           1 |
+
+NOTE: these tables can probably be merged into one.
+
+show indexes from ProbeSetFreeze;
