Exercise steps
1. Copy/paste the keywords from “Exercise 1 query” above, into the Cereals Free (Triticum Aestivum) KnetMiner instance’s Keyword search box.
2. Using the Concept Search shows that the keywords have BioProc, Trait, Protein, PlantOntologyTerm and Gene matches (as data updates, this may increase).
3. Click on the Trait filter and pick a more specific trait keyword from the list by clicking the ‘+’ button.
4. Update the Concept Search search field to only show anthocyanin, also deselecting Trait as the filter.
5. Choose Phenotype as the new filter and add one or multiple results.
6. Hit “SEARCH” and explore the results. Notice how Evidence View is clamped to your specified Concepts. This would not have been the case should you have searched with an open-ended Keyword search (without using Concept Search).
