Templates: 'canned' queries that others have found useful. The easiest way to learn WormMine query is to modify and customize existing templates. You can create and save your own templates after logging in.

Lists: operate on whole lists of data at once. You can upload lists or save them from results tables. Useful public lists are provided.

QueryBuilder: create custom queries and edit existing templates. QuiryBuilder is very powerful but may demand some learning.

MyMine: create an account to save your own queries, bags and templates, as well as marking public templates as favorites.


Template Query

WormMine provides a library of public template queries - predefined queries designed to perform a particular task. Each one has a description and a form to fill in. For example, there are templates to find genes annotated with a specific GO (GeneOntology) term, genes expressed in a specific tissue (anatomy term).

You can find all WormMine templates on the templates page, accessible via the toolbar on any page. Here you can search the titles and descriptions of all templates.

Anyone can add private (for-your-eyes-only) templates. To create a template:

* Log in
* Construct a query using Query Builder
* Must include at least one constrain condition (e.g. restrict the format of the identifier)
* "Start building a template query"
* Fill in Name, Title and Description, and optionally comment
* Make necessary adjustments, then "Save template"
* Admin users can make a personal template public by
  My Mine -> Templates -> Add Tags -> New tag, type in the text box "im:public".
