What are the different types of geo datasets?
The GEO DataSets database stores original submitter-supplied records (Series, Samples and Platforms) as well as curated DataSets. See the Overview for information about these different records types and how they are are related to each other.
How to search for specific genes in a dataset?
It is possible to search for specific genes within this list using the Ctrl F function of your browser. Use the ‘Download’, ‘Plot values’ or ‘View in Entrez’ buttons to retrieve data for the selected region. Depicts a box plot displaying the distribution of expression values of each Sample within a DataSet.
Which is the summary description of a dataset?
Summary: A summary description of the DataSet, Series or Platform record. Type: The DataSet or Series type. Types indicate the general application (e.g., expression profiling) as well as the technology (e.g., high-throughput sequencing). DataSets records also display the Sample Value Type.
How are curated datasets used in the Geo platform?
Curated DataSets form the basis of GEO’s advanced data display and analysis features, including tools to identify differences in gene expression levels and cluster heatmaps. GEO Profiles are derived from GEO DataSets. Not all original submitter-supplied records have been assembled into curated DataSets yet.
Where do I find the accession numbers for the Geo dataset?
The colored blocks in the middle provide information on the experimental variable subsets within the DataSet. Click on the Sample accession numbers (GSMxxx) to select Samples individually, or click on colored blocks and then on blinking arrows to select entire groups of Samples.
How can I limit the number of samples in a geo dataset?
Click on the Sample accession numbers (GSMxxx) to select Samples individually, or click on colored blocks and then on blinking arrows to select entire groups of Samples. You may limit Samples in groups by unchecking the boxes for any groups or Samples you do not wish to include.
