In UGENE you can collect, orginize and use with other people many different data. For example, your work group can use one database. To do it you need to create the database.

The rational storage of biological data is an ever-present issue. It is not only about large data sizes, but also about the requirement of simultaneous access to them by several scientists. For instance, a few researchers from a lab may need to work on the same data, like a set of primers or data produced by sequencing. That information has to be updated and synchronized between different users and kept in a common storage. That is what UGENE Shared Database is intended for.

To start sharing data via UGENE you need to deploy a public database server. MySQL servers are currently supported. See this paragraph for details about the required server configuration.

After that any UGENE user (who knows the correct login/password, however) can connect to the database. The connected database is shown in the Project View as a document exactly the same way as if the data were located on the local computer.

As described in this paragraph the users can have a read-only access to the database or be able to modify its content. A user with a read-only access can:

 Users with write access, in addition, can:

  • Add new objects to the database
  • Create new folders to order the data in the database
  • Modify the folders hierarchy inside the database (using drag'n'drop)
  • Rename objects and folders
  • Delete existed objects
  • Delete folders

All UGENE instances connected to a database constantly monitors the state of the database and shows changes, made by other users.

Tip

UGENE accesses large remote data, such as NGS assemblies, so that only a viewed part of them is loaded to a client computer. So, if you store the assembly data on a server, the data can be browsed in the UGENE Assembly Browser on a local computer almost instantly, without the need to copy the data on the computer or use the hard disk space.
