      We offer a variety of different species that you can search by genes for. Our default is Homo Sapiens, but you can click on the drop-down menu to see the other species we support.

      You also have the option to Upload a Gene List. There is a template available to download, which will give you an example of how to set up your Gene List so that it is able to be imported into ROSALIND.

      Once you have your Gene List, you may choose to share it with a colleague. Select the "Sharing" tab on the left-hand side of your screen. If your colleague has a ROSALIND account, you may type their name in the text field to share your gene list with them.

      How do I use my new gene list? 

      Once your gene list is ready, you can easily import your gene list into any of your comparisons.

      Simply access your comparison, then select the pin icon on the left-hand side of your screen.

      Next, select your gene list from the drop-down menu of available gene lists.

      Once loaded, you should see all genes that are differentially expressed between your comparison group and are also included on your gene list. ROSALIND will report back to you how many genes from your gene list were not differentially expressed in your comparison.
