The organization of mutant phenotype data in SGD is described in the
Phenotype Pages Help document. The
data may be browsed and searched via several avenues:
- Locus Summary. Locus-specific lists of single mutant phenotypes are displayed
on the Locus Summary page for each gene or feature; the Phenotype tab
leads to a table containing all mutant phenotypes curated for that
gene.
- SGD Search. Any text entered into the Search box at
the top of most SGD pages will be used to search the list of phenotype
terms describing observed features, as well as many other kinds of data in SGD. When a query is
entered into the search box, the results page lists the matches found in
various types of data. A typical Phenotype result would appear as:
The phrase "10 Phenotypes" is hyperlinked to a list
of phenotypes for which the search criterion
matches all or part of a phenotype term. The "Expanded Phenotype
Search" link is hyperlinked to a list of search results in which the
original search criterion has been used to search all phenotype data,
including the terms describing observable features and other
associated information such as details, conditions, and
strain names.
- Expanded Phenotype
Search. This interface allowing a complete search of phenotype data may be accessed
directly from the Search Options
page. Note that gene names, systematic names, and aliases are not
included in this search, although
gene names may be found within phenotype data where they are part of
allele or Reporter names.
- Phenotype
Terms page. This page allows you to view the entire hierarchical list of phenotype
terms. Clicking on any term on this page leads to a list of
all phenotypes annotated using this term, and the genes associated
with them.
- Tables displaying phenotype data. Phenotype terms and
chemical names that occur within any tables of phenotype data (mutant
phenotypes for a single gene; phenotype search results) provide access
to additional related phenotypes and the genes associated with
them. Clicking on a hyperlinked phenotype term will
take you to a list of all annotations to that phenotype, with the
associated genes. Clicking on the name of a chemical will take you to
a list of all phenotypes and genes associated with that chemical.
- Advanced
Search. This interface, which allows retrieval of chromosomal
features using multiple criteria, allows you to specify a
phenotype of "viable" or "inviable" in systematic deletion experiments
as one of the search criteria.
