Abstract: Biological samples undergo drastic changes during the execution of an experiment to aid in the determination of gene discovery, disease diagnosis, drug discovery, toxicological research, and so on. After a biological sample is processed, pieces of information about the state of a biological sample are generated. Pedigree information is also generated when a biological sample is sub-divided into multiple portions or when multiple biological samples are combined. These pieces of information illuminate the experiment process in a way that can help scientists to better understand the failure or the success of an experiment. Various pieces of information, such as the state and the pedigree of biological samples are tracked, traced, or searched, so as to allow scientists to piece together a picture of greater experimental clarity.
