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

On a Feature list task report, specify the criteria to filter the table of statistical results using the Filter dialog (Figure 1) and click the Save filter button.

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.

Filter Management Page

To access the Filter management page, click on the gear ( Flow Documentation > Project Management > gear_icon_settings_gray.png ) icon in the Filter dialog on a Feature list task report (Figure 1, above). Alternatively, click the avatar in the top right corner, choose Settings and click Filter management on the left (Figure 4). This page can be accessed by administrative and nonadministrative Partek Flow users. The table on the Filter management page displays all saved filters created by the Partek Flow user that is currently logged in (Figure 4). Filters created by other Partek Flow users will not be displayed in the table.

Click the Preview filter () icon to show the filter details in a table (Figure 5). To delete a filter, click the red cross ( Flow Documentation > Interface > delete_icon_x_cross_red.png ) icon in the Actions column on the filter management page (Figure 4).
