Table 5 Use cases of the graphical user interface for biologists

Navigate all Investigations, and for each Investigation, see the Assays and available Data

Select a Gene and find all Investigations in which this Gene is regulated as suggested by significant eQTL Data (P-value < 0.001)

For a given Locus, select all Genes that have QTL Data mapping 'in trans'; and this may be regulated by this Locus, for example, absolute(QTL locus - gene locus) > 10 Mb and QTL P-value < 0.001

Download a selection of raw gene expression Data as a tab-delimited file (to import into other software)

Upload Investigation information from tab-delimited files

Upload Affymetrix Assays using custom *.CEL/*.CDF file readers

Plot highly correlated metabolic network Data in a network visualization graph

Define security levels for Assays/Investigations to ensure that appropriate data can be viewed only by collaborators, and not by other people

A MassPeak has been identified to be 'proline' and we can follow the link-out URI to Pubchem [46], because it was annotated to have 'cid' 614, to find information on structure, activity, toxicology, and more
