Many of you know that the precursor to BioGPS was another web tool called SymAtlas. While SymAtlas was great, BioGPS was meant to expand on that design by focusing on community extensibility and user customizability. We are very proud that BioGPS handled all of the key SymAtlas use cases…

… with one notable exception, that is. BioGPS lacked the ability to search for genes by expression pattern, a commonly-used feature in SymAtlas. And our users let us know over and over and over and over again that we needed to add this feature before officially retiring SymAtlas.

We’re happy to report now that search by correlation is now an official feature in BioGPS. Follow the three steps shown at the right to see how it works. As always, let us know if you have any feedback on this new feature.
