The results of differential gene expression analyses (GSA or ANOVA) in Partek® Flow® can be filtered to extract meaningful results, e.g. statistically significant genes. User-defined filters can be saved and applied to other projects.
This user guide will cover the following topics:
- Saving a custom filter
- Filter management page

Saved filters will appear in the Saved filters section in the Filter dialog (Figure 3). Saved filters are only available to the Partek Flow user that created them. They will not be available to other administrative or nonadministrative users on the same Partek Flow instance.
To apply a saved filter to a table of statistical results, click the filter name in the saved filters section in the Filter dialog. If a filter is applied to a table, the filter name will appear at the top of the Filter dialog.

Filters created by other Partek Flow users will not be displayed in the table.
