Gene Lists Overview

Overview

A Gene List is a set of gene identifiers that has a name and optionally a description. Gene lists can be created within GeneLinker™ from one of its many plot or experiments, or gene lists can be imported. Importing a gene list imports any genes that are not already in the database. Importing a gene list can also be used to add descriptive information to genes that already exist in the GeneLinker™ database.

Gene lists can be used to reduce the number of features (genes) in a dataset under study or to specify the features for a supervised learning experiment.

All gene lists are listed alphabetically in the Gene Lists navigator.

Click on a gene list to display information about it (name, description, creation date, etc.) in the description pane located below the navigator.
Double-click on a gene list to expand the list of genes under the gene list name in the Gene Lists navigator.
Click on a gene list name or genes within a gene list to lookup gene information in a database.
