The tool generates a Trix search index that enables powerful text-based search in the UCSC Genome Browser search box.
| Search Term | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
isoform_id |
Search by exact isoform ID | PB.1234.1 |
gene_name |
Search by associated gene |
BRCA1 or ENSG00000012048
|
Use prefixed terms to filter by specific attributes:
| Search Term | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
structural_category_X |
Filter by structural category | structural_category_novel_in_catalog |
strand_plus / strand_minus
|
Filter by strand | strand_plus |
coding_coding / coding_non_coding
|
Filter by coding status | coding_coding |
subcategory_X |
Filter by subcategory | subcategory_mono-exon |
bite_True / bite_False
|
Filter by BITE status | bite_True |
predicted_NMD_True |
Filter by NMD prediction | predicted_NMD_True |
polyA_motif_found_True |
Filter by polyA motif | polyA_motif_found_True |
RTS_stage_True |
Filter by RTS stage | RTS_stage_True |
within_CAGE_peak_True |
Filter by CAGE peak | within_CAGE_peak_True |
Combine multiple terms with spaces (AND logic):
structural_category_novel_in_catalog strand_plus coding_coding
This finds all novel_in_catalog isoforms on the plus strand that are coding.
BRCA1 structural_category_full-splice_match
structural_category_novel_in_catalog strand_minus coding_coding
predicted_NMD_True
subcategory_mono-exon
The HTML reports include a "Generate Trix String" button:
- Filter-based: Set your desired filters using dropdowns, then click "Generate Trix String"
- Row-based: Click on a specific isoform row to select it (highlighted in blue), then click "Generate Trix String"
The generated string can be copied directly into the UCSC Genome Browser search box.
Note: Range filters (e.g.,
100:1000for length) are not supported by Trix search and will be ignored.
- Trix search is text-based and does not support numeric ranges
- Searches are case-insensitive
- Partial matches work for gene names and isoform IDs
- For complex filtering, use the track's built-in filters instead
