3.1. Loading data

3.1. Loading data After application startup, the main window opens. To start working with the application, you need to load a file with a gene expression table.

3.1.1. File with a gene expression table

Open a file

To load a file with gene expression data, click File->Open expression data, press Ctrl+O, or click the Open button (Fig. 3.1.1.1).


Figure 3.1.1.1.

This will open the "Open" dialog box that displays the names of files with data tables (Fig. 3.1.1.2). In this dialog box, select a file and click "Open". After this, you will see the "Loading data" dialog box, which will be closed after the file is loaded (Fig. 3.1.1.3).

The table with the selected data will be displayed in the application main window.

Close the file

To close a file with data, click the File->Close expression data command or press Ctrl+C (Figure 3.1.1.4).

3.1.2. File with gene descriptions

Open a file

To load a file with gene descriptions, select the File>Link gene data command on the main menu (Fig. 3.1.2.1).


Figure 3.1.2.1.

The "Open" dialog box shows the names of files with gene descriptions (Fig. 3.1.2.2). In this dialog box, select a file and click "Open".

The "URLs>UniGene" command on the shortcut menu of the main table (to open the shortcut menu, click your right mouse button) will become available (Fig. 2.1.1).

Close a file

To unlink a file with a gene description from the main data, click the File>Unlink gene data command on the main menu (Fig. 3.1.2.3).

3.1.3. File with the nucleotide sequences of genes

Open a file

To load a file with the nucleotide sequences of genes, click the File>Link sequence command on the main menu (Fig. 3.1.3.1).


Figure 3.1.3.1.

This will open the "Open" dialog box listing the names of files with nucleotide sequences (Fig. 3.1.3.2). In this dialog box, select a file and click "Open".

The "Show sequence" command on the shortcut menu of the main table will become available (Fig. 2.1.1) (to open the shortcut menu, click your right mouse button). This command evokes a dialog box with the nucleotide sequence of the selected gene (Fig. 2.3.3).

Close a file

To unlink a file with nucleotide sequences from the main data, click the File>Unlink sequence command on the main menu (Fig. 3.1.3.3).
