Analyzing cellular/molecular query results

[tsliaw]

User:

Biologist

User Scenario:

User already has a set of data (e.g. gene sets with specific cell types) from a previous step on the advanced query interface or from a previously saved set. The user wants to select some components from the set (e.g. gene name/ID from gene sets) to perform an analysis on (e.g. an output of p-values, count, mean). The user can select one or more types of desired outputs, which will result in a spreadsheet or another appropriate display of the analysis results. The user can choose to save these results for future purposes, or download the file or set of raw files (e.g. raw images). The user should be able to perform further query actions without changing the interface drastically.

User Needs/Wants:

• Ability to save set of outputs from previous advanced query search
• Ability to select components of aspects from a set of outputs
• Ability to select analysis output type(s) and to view results in spreadsheet/graphic
• Ability to save results or download output files/set of raw files
• Ability to add more query filters without computing a new analysis
