Update Release Date: 22/02/2017
Inside this last website update, we added a new feature that analyzes and group all target genes of a specific piRNA and display this information in a cloud format.
This method to expose data is based on tag clouds, that are visual representation of data, most common on websites and blogs to describes which words are more frequently occuring on post content. The concept became more important by the fact that grouping all the data from same origin and show the importance to those tags that occur more frequently.
By this way, our system uses the same methodology, giving more emphasis to genes that had more piRNA alignments overlapped to it.
A brief description, images and help topics can be found on our Help/FAQ section.
This tool can be found on any piRNA information page, just after the alignment box.
