An example of a cross-category search
To facilitate multi-level searching, output from one category-specific search may be used as input to another category-specific search. To illustrate, consider our search of epitope-tagged proteins localized to the spindle pole body (discussed as a category-specific search demo of protein localization data). The output from this search may be used as input to a category-specific search of phenotypic data; in this way, we can determine any common cellular functions associated with these spindle pole proteins. To initiate this search, we simply click on the available button to access "more searches on these clones". The resulting screen offers the option to choose any category-specific search; in this case, we select the option to search phenotypic data. The selected clone IDs are automatically inserted into the "clone ID" box within the "phenotypic data" search form. This phenotypic search may be further refined by limiting output to only those strains exhibiting an observable mutant phenotype (select "not wt" from list of available terms in the "score" field). The resulting table indicates disruption phenotypes associated with these spindle pole-associated proteins.
