Gene Query
🔹 Gene Query¶
VarXOmics supports single-gene queries by simply entering the official gene symbol.
1. Input Gene¶
- From the Home page, choose “Gene”.
- Enter the official gene symbol (e.g.,
BRCA1). - Click Run to proceed.
2. View Results¶
Results are automatically displayed after data loading. Annotations and analyses are organized into four sections:
🧪 Clinical Evidence¶
This section displays gene-related clinical evidence from ClinVar, ClinGen, and GenCC databases in separated subpanels.
🍭 ClinVar Lollipop¶
- Visualizes all ClinVar-recorded variants for the queried gene as a lollipop plot.
- Supports zooming and detailed inspection of protein alterations.
- Plots can be exported in PNG and PDF formats.
🔗 Network¶
- Illustrates biological interactions involving the queried gene, including:
- ClinVar-associated variants
- Protein–protein interactions (PPIs)
- The network is interactive: users can zoom or adjust edge weight to explore relationships.
💊 xQTL & Gene–Drug Interactions¶
- Provides structured tables containing:
- eQTL and pQTL associations
- Mendelian Randomization (MR) evidence
- Gene–drug interactions
3. Additional Link-outs¶
Access external resources for deeper investigation:
- 🧫 Human Protein Atlas — explore tissue-specific gene expression.
- 🧬 GTEx — view gene expression across tissues.
- 📚 PubMed — browse publications related to the queried gene.
