get_entity_ObservationalUnit

An ObservationalUnit is an individual plant that 1) is part of an experiment or study, 2) has measured traits, and 3) is assayed for the purpose of determining alleles.

Example:

    get_entity_ObservationalUnit -a < ids > table.with.fields.added

would read in a file of ids and add a column for each filed in the entity.

The standard input should be a tab-separated table (i.e., each line is a tab-separated set of fields). Normally, the last field in each line would contain the id. If some other column contains the id, use

    -c N

where N is the column (from 1) that contains the id.

This is a pipe command. The input is taken from the standard input, and the output is to the standard output.

The ObservationalUnit entity has the following relationship links:

DefinedBy TaxonomicGrouping
HasTrait Trait
IsLocated Locality
IsPartOf StudyExperiment
IsVariedIn Contig
UsesReference Genome

Command-Line Options

-c Column

Use the specified column to define the id of the entity to retrieve.

-h

Display a list of the fields available for use.

-fields field-list

Choose a set of fields to return. Field-list is a comma-separated list of strings. The following fields are available:

source_name
source_name2
plant_id

Output Format

The standard output is a tab-delimited file. It consists of the input file with an extra column added for each requested field. Input lines that cannot be extended are written to stderr.
