= Introduction =
This document describes the WebApp requirements for: ''a new WormBase Molecule widget''. <br/>
These requirements originate from: [[User:Kyook|Karen Yook]], a CalTech-based WormBase curator.
 
= Scope/Background/Context =
In WS217 Karen's proposed WormBase model for a new Class named 'Molecule' was added to the database.  After several rounds of curation these molecules can be divided into two categories: (A.) chemical compounds like drugs or olfaction cues, and (B.) naturally occurring compounds (like dauer hormone) that are synthesized by the animals during their life-cycle.  For both categories the molecules are 'Experimental Factors' (in the MAGE-TAB parlance), or more simply 'Treatments' that may, or may not, affect some aspect of the animals' biology.  Starting from the canonical Gene Page, there is currently no simple way to find a list of molecules that have been shown to interact with your gene of interest.  Likewise, starting at a Molecule page, there is not simple way to find a list of genes that interact with a given molecule.
