  • Select the Brain vs. Heart spreadsheet under Gene Lists

The Brain vs. Heart gene list we created earlier will open (Figure 3). The spreadsheet can be sorted by any column by left-clicking a column header; the first click will sort by ascending values, the second click will switch to descending values.

  • Select the GABAergic synapse pathway on the Pathway-Enrichment spreadsheet or the Project Elements panel 

The GABAergic synapse pathway diagram will open. Genes in the pathway are shown as boxes. The color of the box is set by the Configuration panel (Figure 5).
