TY - JOUR A1 - Hölter, Jan A1 - Rickmeyer, Tim A1 - Thielemann, Christiane T1 - CellRex: Software platform for managing biological cell data JF - SoftwareX N2 - This work introduces the software platform CellRex, a research data management system for laboratories capable of storing, searching, and enriching data with biological metadata. CellRex addresses data management challenges by storing data in an ontology-based directory structure within the filesystem, with metadata saved as JSON files and in a document-oriented SQLite database. The framework, deployed as container services in a software-as-a-service model, features a web-based GUI and API for user interaction and machine-readable access, providing functionalities such as duplicate detection, experiment grouping, and templating. CellRex improves research efficiency and facilitates data reuse, providing a targeted solution for laboratories focused on cell analysis research.
