Users and Groups

GeneWeaver is available without registration to enable all users to search the database and analyze gene sets. Registered users can access several additional features including long-term storage of gene sets, projects and results. Registered users can also form groups, designate administrators and share gene sets, projects and results to the members of their user group.

Guest User

If you prefer to not register, you will become a guest user by doing a search, selecting some gene sets and adding them to a new project. This project can be used by the analysis tools but will not persist beyond 24 hours.

Registration

All pages contain a navigation bar at the top. In the right hand corner, click on " Welcome Guest" and select "Create Account". The only information needed is your name, email and a password. Jackson Laboratory users should use "Continue with Jax Credentials" (Single Sign-On). Other SSO log in options will be added in the future.

Accounts Page

Once registered, use the Welcome drop-down to log in. A logged-in user will see Welcome and their name on the navigation bar. Click there and select "Account Settings". There also is a link to the Account Settings page on the page footer.

On your accounts page find the Manage Groups section. Here you can select the appropriate icons to:

  • Create/Delete Group
  • Edit / Add / Delete Members
  • Email Members
  • View Members
  • View Curation Tasks
  • Set Group Administration Options

Your group can be private, only the members you choose can use it, or public to all.

By selecting the Join Public Group icon at the bottom of this section, a modal will be displayed allowing you to join one of many publicly available groups.

The accounts page is where you can:

  • Change your password if you are not using Single Sign-On
  • Choose to receive email notifications
  • Generate an API Key
  • Elect a Text Annotator (Monarch, NCBO or Both)
  • Edit your name or email address
