Method for systems of notebooks of genomic data networks

A system (100) for allowing a user (400) to access and contribute to a database of genomic information (210), wherein the system (100) comprises:

• a. a server (200) comprising the database of genomic information (210), wherein the database of genomic information (210) comprises a collection of derivative data and a collection of metadata relating to the collection of derivative data;
• and
• b. a computing device (300) communicatively coupled to the database of genomic information (210) comprising a memory storing a set of instructions and one or more processing applications, and a processor, wherein the memory comprises:
• i. a Note Input Module (310) for allowing the user (400) to input a note (500) into the database of genomic information (210) wherein the note (500) is associated with a first data point (505) of the database of genomic information (210) and connects the first data point (505) to one or more second data points of the database of genomic information (210), wherein the note (500) comprises an initial associated data point comprising the first data point (505) and a list of associated data points comprising the one or more second data points, the Note Input Module (310) comprising instructions for:
• 1. accessing the first data point (505) from the database of genomic information (210);
• 2. accepting the note (500) as input from the user (400), wherein the note (500) is associated with the first data point (505);
• 3. identifying, from the note (500), the one or more second data points to be associated with the first data point (505);
• and
• 4. adding the one or more second data points to the list of associated data points of the note (500);
• ii. a Note Association Module (320) for adding to the list of associated data points of a pre-existing note (510), the Note Association Module (320) comprising instructions for:
• 1. accessing the pre-existing note (510);
• 2. identifying, from the pre-existing note (510), the one or more second data points to be associated with the first data point (505);
• and
• 3. adding the one or more new second data points (515) to the list of associated data points of the pre-existing note (510);
• and
• iii. a Browsing Module (330) for allowing a user (400) to search the database of genomic information (210) for data points and notes associated with the data points, the Browsing Module (330) comprising instructions for:
• 1. displaying a full set of data points of the database of genomic information (210), wherein a display format of the full set of data points is selected from a group comprising a knowledge graph and a notebook view;
• 2. accepting a search term (520) as input from the user (400);
• 3. accepting a search category (522) as input from the user (400), wherein the search category (522) is selected from a group comprising data points and notes;
• 4. retrieving, if the search category (522) is data points, one or more data points (525) from the database of genomic information (210) associated with the search term (520);
• 5. displaying the one or more data points (525) retrieved from the database of genomic information (210);
• 6. selecting, by the user (400), a data point of the one or more data points (525) retrieved from the database of genomic information (210);
• 7. displaying a full set of notes associated with the selected data point;
• 8. retrieving, if the search category (522) is notes, one or more notes (527) from the database of genomic information (210) associated with the search term (520);
• 9. displaying the one or more notes (527) retrieved from the database of genomic information (210);
• 10. selecting, by the user (400), a note of the one or more notes (527) retrieved from the database of genomic information (210);
• and
• 11. displaying an initial associated data point and a list of associated data points of the selected note;
• wherein each note comprises a plurality of observations, wherein each observation comprises a body of text.
