Analysis Tools
GeneWeaver uses a set of analysis tools to operate on genes and gene sets. These tools evaluate a range of data inputs for the purposes of elucidating hierarchical relationships among a set of gene sets of interest. They can be used to visualize bipartite clusters, HiSim Graph or visualize genes with the more common intersections, GeneSet Graph.
Generation and visualization of a maximal triclique using the intersection of gene sets with the Triclique Viewer Tool can allow users to discover novel relationships between gene ontology terms. The overlap/similarity of gene sets themselves can be visualized with Jaccard Similarity plots. These set overlaps are also available for Clustering, while component gene intersections can be found on our Gene Intersection Lists. The Boolean Algebra tool uses advanced set logic to integrate multiple genesets. For each tool, GeneWeaver allows users to expand their search beyond a single species using Homology Mapping.
Analyze Gene Sets Tab
Use the analyze gene sets tab on the navigation bar to move to the analysis tools.
A registered user or guest user who has a temporary project will see the Analyze page. Down the left side are all the tools. Select one or more projects or gene sets and click on the desired tool. Options will then be displayed below the tool. Select the desired options and click the Run button.
A tool can take a long time, depending on the size and complexity of the selected gene sets. A message will be displayed showing the progress of the tool. You can now navigate away from this page and later return to the results page.

The link to the results page is on the analyze gene sets tab.
Your tool has completed once the duration column has a time listed. From this page you can:
