Description
-----------

**dictyExpress** is a widget for a direct access to [**dictyExpress**](http://dictyexpress.biolab.si/) database 
and it is very similar to the **GenExpress** and **GEO Data Sets** widgets as it allows you to dowload 
selected experiments.

1. The widget will automatically save (cache) downloaded data, which makes them available also in the offline mode. To reset    the widget click *Clear cache*.
2. *Exclude labels with constant values* removes labels that are the same for all the selected experiments in the output.
3. Click *Commit* to output the data.
4. Publicly available data are accessible from the outset. Use *Token* to access password protected data.
5. Available experiments can be filtered with the *Search* box at the top.

Example
-------

In the schema below we connected **ditcyExpress** to a **Data Table** to observe all of
the selected experiments. Then we used **Differential Expression** widget to select
the most relevant genes and output them to another **Data Table**.
