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 page or on the Search Investigations page, after you search on a keyword or phrase. These details include counts of studies, assays, samples, and files. The metadata available for an investigation determines if other entities, such as sources and collections, 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.
