Biological Interpretation


Gene information

Text description
Function summary from LocusLink, symbol, chromosomal localization, gene identifiers.
Attributes
Gene Ontology (GO) categories and Pathway membership.
Histogram of expression values, by sample.
Find genes with similar patterns of expression or common GO/pathway membership(s).
Sequence analysis
Display and analyze one or more sequences:

Download: Download genomic sequence for one, or a set of genes, from the Epicenter Software server. Sequence may include user-defined 5' and 3' extensions. Current genomes include human, mouse and rat.
Display: Selected genomic regions - one or more of the 5' sequence, the exons, the introns and the 3' sequence. Each sequence is shown schematically (indicating exonic regions) and by nucleotide.
Align: One or more sequence with a primary sequence, with or without gaps. Align Affymetrix probe sequences against the genomic sequence. Highlight mismatches.
BLAST: Click-and-drag to select a sequence and drop that sequence into a Web-based BLAST engine.
Find: Find all matches to a motif. The motif can include ambiguous nucleotides, variable length gaps, subregions of fixed sequence and others with a user-speified maximum mismatches. The motif can be a combination of two or more alternatives.
Motif list: Build a library of nucleotide motifs of interest.
Compare: Count occurrences of a selected motif in a set of gene sequences, and statistically compare this to a control set. Search can be limited to conserved regions and/or non-repeat regions.
Conserved: Conserved genomic regions may be highlighted.
Repeats: Repeat genomic regions can be highlighted.

Probe level data
View data from each of the perfect match (PM) and mis-match (MM) probes for a gene. Plots show the signal level for each probe, and the PM-MM differences. Examine sample-to-sample consistency in probe patterns by cycling through each sample.

Gene list interpretation

Attribute analysis
Attributes are gene classifications that include GO codes (Molecular Function, Biological Process and Cellular Component) and pathway membership, in tree structure. Genes in a list are compared to all genes to determine the Attributes over-represented (with odds ratio and statistical significance)
Pathways
Displays pathways (derived from KEGG, GenMAPP or custom built), with gene expression (or covariate) data superimposed. Click for information on a gene or a metabolic product. Annotated with text or thumbnail graphics that summarize key properties of the genes.
Chromosome map
Map of gene expression (and related data, including karyotype) to gene locations; by cytogenetic band, by fixed chromosomal length, or gene-by-gene.
