cPath should generate a network containing the genes related to DPP in D. melanogaster

C6

1. Select E. coli and type “LacI” into the search field
2. Set the limit to 100 and click search

cPath should generate a network containing the genes related to LacI in E. coli

C7

1. Select H. Sapiens and type “CD4” into the search field
2. Set the limit to 500 and click search

cPath should generate a network containing the genes related to CD4 in H. sapiens

C8

1. Select H. pylori 26695 and type “” into the search field
2. Set the limit to 1000 and click search

This appears to be broken at the moment since no search is returning any results

Pass/Fail

1. Start Cytoscape
2. Import a network file (eg. galFiltered.sif)

CE1

Click and drag a new node from the Editor tab and drop into an empty space on the graph

A new node should appear number sequentially according to the number of times a new node has been added

CE2

1. Click and drag a new directed edge and drop it on top of the new node created in the previous case
2. Click on an already existing node as the target for the interaction

A directed edge between the new node and the existing node should appear

CE3

1. Select the new node and edge alone by dragging a box around them
2. Right-click on the node and then click Delete selected nodes and edges

The selected edge and node should be deleted and no longer appear on the graph

Pass/Fail

1. Start Cytoscape
2. Import a network file (eg. galFiltered.sif)
3. Click Create New Attribute in the Node Attribute Browser and select Integer from the menu
4. Drag and select some nodes
5. Select Attribute Batch Editor and choose Set from the operation tab
6. Type an integer and click GO
7. Repeat steps 5-7 for two other groups of nodes (with different integers)
8. Click Select → Use Filters (F7) (Alternatively, click on the Filters tab in the Control Panel)

F1

1. Click on the Options button and select Create new filter… from the menu
2. Call the new Filter Numbers
3. In the Filter Definition section select node.Numbers from the menu
4. Click Add, double click the range bar and set the Low and High Bound to 5, click Apply

All the nodes with “5” in their Numbers attribute column should be highlighted

F2

1. (Repeat steps 1-4 from F1)
2. Click the Not check box next to the range bar (then click Apply)

All the nodes that do not have “5” in their Numbers attribute column should be highlighted

F3

1. (Repeat steps 1-4 from F1)
2. Click the Advanced “+” symbol in the Filter Definition area and click on the Negation check box

All the nodes that do not have “5” in their Numbers attribute column should be highlighted

F4

1. (Repeat steps 1-4)
2. Select node.Numbers from the Attribute/Filter menu again and click Add
3. Set the Low and High bounds to 1 and click Apply (ensuring that AND appears between the two range bars)

There should be no selected nodes on the graph because the Numbers attribute only contains one integer

F5

1. (Repeat steps 1-3 from F4)
2. Ensure that OR appears between the two range bars by selecting the OR radio button from the Filter Definition area

All the nodes that have either a 1 or a 5 in their Numbers attribute column should be highlighted

F6

1. (Repeat steps 1-4 from F1)
2. Click the garbage can icon beside the range bar

The parameter should be deleted and no longer appear in the Filter Definition area

F7

1. Select edge.interaction from the Attribute/Filter menu and click Add
2. Type “pp” into the text field and click Apply

All the edges in the graph that represent pp interactions should be highlighted

2. Type “Filter 1” into the text field and click OK

The Current Filter menu should reflect the name change to “Filter 1”

F9

1. Click the Options button and select Create new topology filter
2. Type “Topology” into the text field and click OK
3. Under Toplogy Filter Definition type “1” into the first and second text fields and leave the menu on none for additional Filters to pass

All the nodes that have 1 neighbour within 1 edge interaction should be highlighted (eg. All the nodes in galFiltered.sif)

F10

Select Filter 1 from the Topology Filter Definition and click Apply

Only those nodes that pass Filter 1 as well as the Topology Filter should be highlighted

F11

1. Click the Options button and select Create new NodeInteraction Filter
2. Type “Node” into the text field and press OK
