  1. Information on data set size and genes that matched the NCBI ID’s.
  2. Select the organism of reference.
  3. Set the source of gene names. If your gene names are placed as attributes names, select Use attribute names.
  4. If Auto commit is on, changes will be communicated automatically. Alternatively click Commit.

Example

Below we first view the entire Caffeine effect: time course and dose response data set in the Data Table widget. Then we feed the same data into the Gene Info, where we select only the genes that are located on the 11th chromosome. We can observe these data in another Data Table, where additional information on the selected genes are appended as meta attributes.
