Details

You can continue exploring investigation data by clicking a link to investigation, study, or assay details. Links to these details are on the Browse Investigations and Search Investigations (search results) pages. These details include counts of studies, assays, samples, and files. The metadata available for an investigation determines if other entities are available for counts such as sources and collections. From these details pages, you can visualize the structure of the investigation and download selected study files, download the full archive, and download only the metadata.

To explore investigation details

  1. Browse investigations or search investigations until you find an investigation, study, or assay in which you are interested.
