XSPAN-SAEL User Interface

The GUI allows users to select a target organism or SAEL ontology from a drop-down list. The anatomy of the selected organism or SAEL ontology tree appears in the left hand display window. The user then browses the tree displayed and highlights the initial tissue to be used for searching.

A target organism/ontology (or "All") is selected from the second drop-down list and this anatomy diplays in the right hand display window. "All" is automatically slected as the mapping type as in the SAEL GUI.

The user then clicks the Search button and any mappings between the selected initial tissue and the target organism/s are retrieved from the database. These are listed according to target organism in the Results Table.

Clicking on a row in the Results Table will bring up the target organism for that row in the right-hand display, and the mapped tissues are highlighted with the tree expanded to the mapped tissues. A new frame with full details of the mapping then appears to the right.
