Graphical Search - Example 2
This second example demonstrates an advanced graphical search in which gene expression is defined for two different regions. In this example, a search is performed for genes that are expressed in the region of the cortical barrelfield to a greater extent than nearby cortical regions.

Step 1 of 4
Section 2 is selected for the search because it contains the region of interest.



Step 2 of 4
The advanced search is selected.



Step 3 of 4
Two regions are defined: 1) the cortical barrelfield, and 2) a nearby cortical region. The cortical barrelfield is defined as the first region by highlighting the appropriate quadrilaterals in the cortex.



Next, the second region radio button is selected, and then the quadrilaterals of a nearby cortical region are highlighted to define the second region.



Step 4 of 4
The expression query pattern is chosen for each region. The strong radio button is selected as the expression for the first region.

Next, the second region radio button is selected, and then the not detected radio button is selected as the expression for the second region.



After clicking on Search, the top matches are displayed. Clicking on one of the images in results takes you to a larger view and more information about the images. Click on the link to Genepaint.org to view the the images at high resolution using a virtual microscope.
