Figure 1. Screenshots of COLOMBOS data analysis components.

The bottom part shows the two main panels of the data analysis page. The left hand workspace panel is always visible, containing an overview of the modules and the main analysis controls. The content of the right hand data analysis panel depends on the actions of the user. In this case it shows the overview page for a module selected in the workspace. This overview page not only provides some general information on the selected module, but also serves as a guide for further examination and analysis steps. These are illustrated at the top part of the figure and include visualization, content editing (demonstrated is the removal of genes based on expression profile similarity), splitting the module based on expression values (shown here in the gene direction), and exploration of gene and contrast information.
