  • Demo Walk-through: the distributed version of OpenGeneMed comes with a pre-populated database that contains information of few mock patients, with simulated samples, treatment assignments, eligibility criteria, etc. This is done to allow first-time users and reviewers to navigate a fully functional system and evaluate OpenGeneMed capabilities in its default configuration. However it is important to clean up the database to prepare the system for deployment in real case studies. To make this operation quick and easy, we provided a script that will empty the appropriate tables and initialize the content of the database. More information about this can be found in the Technical Documentation.
