Section 6 Enrichment Analysis

6.1 User-input interface

Input

  • Step 1 and Step 2: a list of user-input domains, together with the domain type specified. Please make sure that the input domain identifiers (Step 2) are consistent with the domain level (Step 1); otherwise, the error messages will be prompted

  • Step 3: a list of ontologies supported.

  • More Controls: parameters fine-tuned for steps described above.

Output

  • Example Output includes an interactive table for enriched ontology terms, and a dotplot (illustrating enriched ontology terms). A summary of input data and the runtime (computed on the server side) is also returned to the users for the reference.

6.2 Enrichment results

  • Under the tab Input domain information, An interactive table lists user-input domains that are also hyperlinked to the domain-specific information page.

6.3 Info button

The user-request interface has the Show/Hide Info toggle button that contains the information on use, including the details on input, output and other useful information, while the Example Input/Output button showcases the example input/output.

6.4 Error messages

The error messages will be prompted if the inputs are invalid (see the screenshot below). Notably, in the results page, a summary of input domain data is also returned to the users for the reference.

The screenshot for the error messages appeared when the input is invalid.
