Input to BioLattice



Input to BioLattice is a common tab-delimited text file for a (clustered) gene-expression profile:

  1. The first row must contain column heading (i.e., ID, ClusterID, condition1, condition2, ...).
  2. The first column must contain either GenBank accession, UniGene ID, LocusLink ID, Ensembl ID.
  3. The second column has cluster IDs.
  4. The third to i-th columns are optional and contain expression levels across experimental conditions.


sample input for BioLattice



BioLattice dose not perform cluster analysis. The input format is designed primarily for partitional clustering algorithms
(i.e., K-means and Self-Organizing Maps).
We suggest heavy clustering, have a lot of partitions ( 50 or more clusters ).

How to use BioLattice


  1. Download and install SVG Viewer plug-in from Adobe.
  2. We suggest using Internet explorer®, because FireFox® doesn't satisfactorily support SVG image.
  3. Type your experiment name.
  4. Submit your gene-expression cluster data (see sample input for BioLattice).
  5. Select annotation category.
  6. Select binarize method. This value is very important to get suitable image.
