P61073
 
UniProt_Ac
 2 nodes (CXCR4 and CXCR4_HUMAN) Pass
Note: P61073-2 and P61073 are isoforms of CXCR4. Searching for P61073-2 actually results in the removal of the "-2" and a search for all isoforms, under the assumption that the user is unsure which isoform should be retrieved; as a result, all isoforms are returned, even though a specific isoform was requested. In contrast, the search without a "-" character results in just one protein with that exact name being returned.

User interface notes

Many search types such as UniProt_ID now lead to exact-only searches. The production of results should not be allowed for imprecise protein names, for example, since the user might have entered gene names, selected UniProt_ID by mistake and would not be aware of their mistake because their search returned results. Also, since the first few characters of UniProt_ID search terms may be shared by multiple proteins from different organisms, an inexact match would need to trigger the query helper.

Generally, searches should provide predictable outcomes without resorting to the attribute browsers to discover which search terms produced which results. For example, AH2_ARATH which returns no results from an exact match search, should not encourage similar terms to be used for searching. Previously AH2_ARATH returned CAH2_ARATH. Imagine if the user accidentally had such a query term embedded in a long list. They would never detect this search error!

Where the taxonomy field is set to Any, a warning will be given. It is envisaged that the user will most frequently be working with a single organism's proteins or would at least tolerate being reminded that potentially irrelevant proteins might be searched for due to naming coincidences.

Exporting lists of attribute values should be as simple as selecting the values in the attribute browser and opening a context menu and copying the selection. However, it is also possible (when the context menus don't work) to use the "File" -> "Export" -> "Node Attributes" menu entry and to choose "i.geneID", then saving and processing the saved file to get a list. This seems to be rather unreliable, however.

Currently under review

The CXCR4 isoforms test can be used as a test case for the Export function "on Target network Node ID type"= i.Canonical_ROGID_TOP

Test case name: Iterations 1

Operation:

Perform search described in test UniProt_Ac 1 with Iterations=1. Then again with Iterations = 0 and confirm that the number of edges between the query nodes is identical.

Expected Observation:

Same number of edges (2 edges, 1 loop) in both cases.

Test case name: ipi 1 #

Operation:

Query box: 

IPI00543858
IPI00517160

Search type: ipi

Taxon id: Any

Iterations: 1

Create new view: no

Use canonical expansion: no

Expected Observation:

Returns results identical to test case UniProt_Ac 1. Ok

Changing the query to "IPI00543858.1 IPI00517160.1" produces identical results. Ok.

Changing the query to "00543858 00517160" produces identical results. Ok.

Changing the query to "00543858 0051716" produces identical results for first query term and initiates query helper to resolve second term. Ok.

Changing the query to "abcd" produces no results. Ok.

Changing the query to "IPI" initiates query helper. Ok.

Searching for IPI00543858 as any other search type returns no results. Ok

Test case name: mass search #

Operation:

Query box: 

72854<-->72866

Search type: ipi

Taxon id: Any

Iterations: 0

Create new view: yes

Use canonical expansion: no

Expected Observation:

The user is presented with the query helper to refine the query. A prompting message reads:

"One or more of your mass query terms corresponds to a range. You may select one or more of the masses on the right (shift-click and cntrl-click are supported). Press return to add the selected terms to a new query. Clear the "Create new view" tick-box if you want to add the results to the current view."

FAIL. The message given should be replaced with the above text. Also, there are inappropriate and unusable links to NCBI given in the query helper. Also, interface changes my selected iterations from 0 to 1 without asking. Annoying.

The query returns 4 nodes with mass in the expected range. Ok.

0 returns no results. Ok.

-1 returns no results. Ok.

MW returns no results. Ok.

72854 kda returns no results but hangs the interface. FAIL.

Create new view: yes

Use canonical expansion: no

Expected Observation:

4 nodes and 7 edges are returned. Three edges have PMID 11401546 and these involve the 4 nodes shown. All other edges (from different PMIDs) involve these proteins. Ok.

Expected Observation:

Search Type Example Results
UniProt_Ac Q7KSF4 67 nodes, 146 edges. 4 nodes are returned directly by the query, but only one is marked with i.query = Q7KSF4. FAIL nodes returned by a query (even with canonical expansion) should have an i.query value. i.order is 0 for Q7KSF4 but 10 for the other three nodes from the same canonical group. CAUTION. This is not what the documentation says for these attributes. With canonical expansion off, this search returns 43 nodes, 43 edges all from BioGRID.
RefSeq_Ac NP_996224 67 nodes, 146 edges. See above. i.query feature fails to update to reflect the most recent search. FAIL.
UniProt_ID Q7KSF4_DROME 67 nodes, 146 edges.
geneID 42066 67 nodes, 146 edges. See above. Now two nodes are marked as Q7KSF4 under i.query. FAIL. 42066 should be listed for the recently returned node.
geneSymbol cher 67 nodes, 146 edges. Now i.query says Q7KS4 for all four nodes returned by the search. FAIL.
mass 72854<-->72866 40 nodes, 94 edges. Four molecular mass values are returned by the query helper. Selecting all of these and doing the search returns 8 hi-lited nodes and their interactors. The 72855 mass node returns 1 node with that mass and two other members of the same canonical group. Two of the nodes are returned with i.query of Q7KSF4. FAIL.
rog 10121899 FAIL. This should return the Q7KSF4 node. Instead got "Sorry, please wait until current operations finish or stop the proces and restart Cytoscape." Subsequent searches do not work. Have to restart Cytoscape
PMID 14605208 929 nodes and 1605 edges returned all with PMID of 14605208. SAme results if iteration is set to 0. Ok. Same results if canonical expansion is de-selected. Ok.
src_intxn_id 47513 2 nodes and 1 edge returned.
src_intxn_id EBI-212627 2 nodes and 4 edges returned (2 from intact, 1 from BIND and 1 from MINT). Ok
src_intxn_id 147805 Returns 4 nodes and three interactions because BIND and BioGRID interaction id space overlap.
omim 227650 74 nodes and 224 edges returned. Ok.
digid 449 58 nodes and 60 edges returned. FAIL. This should return the same results as omim 227650 plus more nodes that have the same digid. digid search is like searching for multiple omims. Problem with file name _EXT__ROG_digid.irft
dig_title fanconi FAIL - do not fix until next release.
