Search feature

Description

Data needed

Sequence similarity

Genes can be searched using homology either on nucleotide sequence level (BLASTN) or protein sequence level (BLASTP).

-

Gene identifier

List of gene identifiers as provided within the genome release.

-

Gene Ontology (GO) annotation

Genes can be searched based on their GO annotation.

-

PFAM annotation

Genes can be searched based on their PFAM annotation.

-

Expression variation

Gene expression levels need to vary across conditions in order to filter for interesting genes as quantified by using the coefficient of variation (sample standard deviation divided by the sample mean).

Expression matrix

Presence of expression

The expression has to surpass a custom expression threshold in at least one condition.

Expression matrix

Differential expression

Genes have to be in a list of genes being differentially expressed, as provided by the user.

List of differentially expressed genes

Gene clustering

Genes have to be in a certain group of clustered genes. Clustering information is provided by the user.

Gene to cluster linkage list

  1. While some features are always available for all genomes, for the expression-based searches the user has to upload the corresponding data first.
