FEED Archive

<p>The Feeding Experiments End-User Database (FEED) was designed by the&nbsp;<a href="http://nescent.org/science/awards_summary.php?id=150">Mammalian Feeding Apparatus Working Group</a>&nbsp;supported by the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nescent.org/">National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent)</a>. See Additional Notes for information on (1)&nbsp;accessing the source code for&nbsp;the FEEDv2.0.3 database, and (2) accessing the ontologies (MFMO and OPBO).</p> <p>The data are archived here.&nbsp; The raw data are&nbsp;in .dat files,&nbsp;and the metadata pertaining to a specific numbered trial&nbsp;are in&nbsp;.csv format.&nbsp; All raw data and metadata are available for re-use.&nbsp; The .csv files named with the convention &quot;trial_####_channels&quot; contain metadata pertaining to an individual trial.&nbsp; The complete list of trials available for download, including relevant metadata for analyzing the in vivo data, are in the file &quot;FEED_Archive_Master_Trials.csv&quot;.&nbsp; Raw data and metadata uploaded here are from FEEDv2 (2008-2018).</p> <p>FEED design and development funded by NSF-ABI-1062333 (CEW) and NSF-EF-0423641.&nbsp; NSF-EF0423641 funded the National Evolution Synthesis Center (NESCent) at&nbsp;Duke University (Principal Investigator:&nbsp;K. K. Smith).</p> <p>PUBLICATIONS AND HOW TO CITE:</p> <p>If you use the FEED data, ontologies, or application, or publish results attained from it, please cite as follows:<br> Wall, C. E., Vinyard, C.
