Table 1. A Complete Analysis Session in PAPST with Timing Information.

Task Number of mouse clicks Time
Load peak files of Oct4, Sox2, and Nanog (23986, 16056, 22463 peaks, respectively) 3 3 sec
Assign Oct4 peaks as the base 4 4 sec
Define search criteria by creating a filter 4 4 sec
Search for regions co-localized by the 3 TFs 1 1 sec (the search operation itself took 0.051 sec)
Reformat the search results into an input file 4 4 sec
Load genomic locations of super-enhancers and typical enhancers 2 2 sec
Calculate overlaps for all 20 pairwise comparisons 1 1 sec
Total 19 mouse clicks 19 seconds

PAPST is a very fast and easy to use platform for exploratory research as illustrated by the number of clicks to accomplish a task as well as the time.
