What you need to know:

  1. Components: Not all geWorkbench components are loaded by default. Additional available components can be load by using the Component Configuration Manager (CCM).
  2. Microarray Annotation Files: Most components that link to external data sources require that an annotation file be associated with the microarray file when it is loaded. geWorkbench currently supports the Affymetrix annotation file format. Examples of components that depend on annotation file information include Sequence Retriever, Marker Annotations, Cellular Network Knowledge Base, and Gene Ontology.
  3. Visibility: Only components relevant to the currently selected data node in the Project Folders component are displayed. For instance, after a BLAST job, the active node is the BLAST node, and only sequence-related components will be shown. Select the original, parent data node again to see all its available components.
