Empathise
I want to find common genes and see where, in the cell, things are happening.
Goals: Streamline and speed up the process of mining data sets.
Visualisa6ons of data.
Develop hypotheses before running lab experiments.
Source suitable experiment candidates.

Pain Points
1. Time-‐consuming manual curation.
2. Large number of steps and touch-‐points in process.
3. Not knowing if new data is available.
4. No way to easily compare results in a big network.
5. No easy way to store results to compare with new data.
Charlie Genome researcher Garvan InsCtute Scenario: Research what makes exercise so beneficial at the molecular level.

Ideate
Feature priori:sa:on 1. Advanced search. 2. Store searches (Projects). 3. Compare data. 4. Visualise interactions between molecules and
the location of that molecule within the cell. 5. Add new data sets to saved Projects.
