SEURAT - Biology
Biologists can use the SEURAT Quick
Search facility to select their assay from a list of all assays and see every
experimental result it has produced. Straight away they have information
pertinent to their day-to-day responsibilities without the need to learn a
complex interface.

Choose search type and
assay name from pre-filled lists
|
SEURAT returns all results for that assay
at the experiment level in the Result Display. The type, units, concentration
and concentration units of each assayed lot is shown along with when the assay
was performed, comments about the result and information about the notebook and
page that contain a record of the experiment.

All experimental results
for the assay CMET-TRFRET including lot information

SEURAT then aggregates the results into a
single row per compound in the Assay Display. It is at this point that
structural information is shown and at which the user can start to explore the breadth of features
offered by the SEURAT discovery platform.

Results are aggregated to
give a row per compound summary
You choose whether to see
median, mean, max or min. Mouse over shows per lot results

SEURAT intelligently handles
experimental complexity by showing imprecise values with their operator and/or
standard deviation information while still allowing those columns to be used in
sort and mathematical operations. Special symbols (+, ++) are used to
notify the user that one or more of the underlying values for a displayed assay
result are imprecise (>300 for example). Biologists can easily add new
assays, properties, local structure searches and user defined columns in the
Assay Display. They can calculate bins based on ranges in their assays data and
color the original column by those bins. They can also look for trends emerging
in their assays and study the significance of the statistical spread of an
assays data by visualizing assay results via the Tools->Visualize menu
option in the Assay Display.

analyze your biological assay results through a step-by-step exploration of
your results in the Assay Display see the breadth of features
