AgroSeek web site major workflow from a user perspective. A user will need to first create a project. After creating a project, the user can upload gene annotations and metadata for this project. The uploaded data will become the “project data” for this project. Project data can be used for analysis after selecting and grouping samples based on their metadata attributes. Comparison to other projects within the AgroSeek community is also available by filtering public projects based on metadata attributes. Groups can also be manually modified after generation. (1) Green phases in the workflow indicate project creation, (2) blue phases indicate data uploading and (3) red phases indicate analysis. Rectangles indicate entities and rounded rectangles indicate user operations
