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.
