  1. Viewing your own data

Probes/transcripts/identifiers we recognize

We will automatically detect and map your probes/transcripts/identifiers to HUGO gene names. For instance, we will map Affy probe IDs to HUGO gene names so that you can enter a HUGO gene name when creating a column in the Visual Spreadsheet and we will pull up the corresponding Affy probes.

You can still load your data if you do not see your identifiers listed. We will just not map them to HUGO genes for you. This means that in the visualization you will need to enter your identifiers as they appear in your file.

Supported probes and other identifiers

  • Affy U133 array (hg19) e.g. 1007_s_at

  • Affy HumanExon1.0ST (hg18) e.g. 2315101

FAQ

FAQ: Xena didn't map the right probes

If it looks like we picked the wrong set of probes, please click 'Advanced' next to the 'Import' button on the last screen of the wizard to load data. You can then pick the appropriate probes.
