Please see Terms tab for list of tissues, and other fields for searching. See the online help for additional information on searching and using the Image Viewer.

All Field Search

  • Entering text without a specific field (see below), will search all fields for the words entered, i.e. cortex will find both kidney – cortex and brain – cortex from tissue type, or all pathology review comments with the word cortex
  • Wildcard Search(Gastro*) does a character pattern matching between the characters specified in a query and words in each field containing those character patterns, and returns matching specimens
  • Double quotation mark for searchable categories with spaces ("Nerve - tibial")
  • Text to search for could include
    • GTEX-R45C: A GTEx Case Public ID returning all records with any reference to GTEX-R45C
    • GTEX-R45C-0326: A GTEx Specimen Public ID returning all records with any reference to GTEX-R45C-0326
    • LUNG: Returns all records with any reference to lungs, for example in tissue type or pathology review comments
    • Gastro*: Returns all records with any reference to gastroesophageal, or gastropathy
