Gene families that match your query are returned in the order of relevance. For each family, the following information is displayed:
- Family name [PANTHER gene family ID]
Click on the family name, you will be directed to the gene family detail page. - Matched field
Indicates which data field(s) has a match to your query. Hint, if you are interested in a particular gene and your query with the gene symbol returned several families, the one that has a match field Gene Symbol would be your top choice to explore. - Number of genes in the family
You can apply filters to refine the search results.
- Taxonomic Range
The taxonomic range of a gene family indicates the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all members in that family. The numbers next to each taxonomic range indicate how many gene families from the search results have that MRCA. Check the check box in front of a taxonomic range will refine the search results to families that have the MRCA. For example, check "Magnoliophyta" will narrow down the returned families to those that are Magnoliophyta specific. - Organisms Included
The number next to each organism indicates how many gene families from the search results have at least one member from that specific organism. Check the check box in front of an organism, will narrow down the search results to families that have any members from the organism.
The logical operation for multiple selections of the filters is AND. For example, check Arabidopsis thalina and Zea mays from the Organism Included filter. The results will be refined to gene families that have Arabidopsis genes as well as corn genes, but are NOT limited to Arabidopsis and corn.
