Parameter Information


Search Mode Selection

The search mode options permit searching for genes or samples.

Search Term and Match Criteria

The Search Term text field permits the input of the term to search for within the gene or sample annotation. The Case Sensitive option insures that all matches contain the search term including matching the case of each letter. The Exact Match option insures that all matching annotation contains the search term and no extra characters. If this option is in the default (off) mode then the annotation matches only need to contain the search term within the annotation. (e.g. If the search term is proton then valid matches could be proton transport, proton pump, or any other annotation term containing proton.
