Import Experiments
Data format
Glynsight only processes CSV files.
A experiment template file is available: Click here to download Example File
All CSV files must contain a column for glycan composition and one for glycan expression as percentage or any other unit. As shown in the example file, glycan composition column must be named "composition" whereas glycan expression column must be named "quantification".
Data Import
To import new experiments:- Under "Manage Experiment", click on "Import Experiments" in the left side menu to show the upload pop-up .
- In the upload pop-up, click on "UPLOAD FILES" and search the experiments in the file system.
- Click on "FINISH UPLOAD" to conclude the upload.
Manage Experiments
Once the experiments are imported in the "Experiment list " on the left side menu, the user can:- Rename each experiment clicking on "Rename Experiments".
- Delete all the experiment using "Remove all Experiments" button.
- Remove only one selected experiment clicking on "Remove Selected Experiment"
Manage Session
Glynsight can record in a single file a work session during which several experiments were uploaded. This file can then be used to restore the session in the future.- To download a session file, simply click on Download Session. The session file is named by Glynsight with the .json extension.
- To upload the session file, click on Upload Session and select a valid file (with the .json extension) in the file system.
Demo Experiments
Glynsight provides a set of demo experiments. The user can test the application using this set of experiments before uploading real ones. In order to use demo experiments, click on "Load Demo Experiments" on the left side menu.Visualize Experiments
To Visualize an experiment, search its name into the Experiment list on the left side menu and click on it. Glynsight runs on two different display modes: Individual display and Differential display.
Individual Display
The Individual Display shows a particular experiment selected in the side list.
Differential Display
In contrast with the previous mode, the Differential Display mode shows the comparison of two experiments. After clicking on "Differential Display" under the Display mode menu, the user can select two experiments in the left side menu. In this mode, Glynsight computes and shows the difference between the two experiments. Brighter colors are used to single out distinctive compositions. For example if the composition is present only in the first experiment, it will be in brighter blue whereas if it is only in the second experiment it will be in brighter red.
