The tool also contains a search function. There are 2 types of search that may be performed. The first, and most simple, search is searching a gene. After starting to type a gene name, autocomplete options will be offered, and the search may be restricted to a certain strain or event type. This restriction is useful for answering questions such as, “is gene X affected by a mutation in strain Y?” (strain restriction), or “is there a strain where gene X is truncated due to a SG mutation?” (event-type restriction). The second type of search is a search on function. One may enter a GO term (term identifier or term description) and the search function will select for a group of genes all having this GO term. The results returned may optionally be restricted to a selected chromosome. This field also offers autocomplete suggestions, and because this search is rather demanding, it can only be run once a valid GO term has been entered into the search field.
