Based on the team meeting discussion, we have the following conclusions:
Species search is allowed.
The cell type wheel should be homogeneous and there is a bug data in this example search, https://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/sc/search/metadata/Mus%20musculus. where we have a four level, from Homo sapiens section, which should not be included in the Mus musculus search
Level 3 should be the gene expression search level for species-centred wheel.
Given the search term is
Mus musculus
, https://wwwdev.ebi.ac.uk/gxa/sc/search/metadata/Mus%20musculus.The cell type wheel is not homogeneous, i.e., one node has four levels and the others only have three levels.
In our implementation senario, we always consider to trigger a gene expression search on the level 4.
So, in this case, if the node
lymphocyte
is clicked, it requested gene expression from endpoints as usual, but the others are not.It is a bit hard to say now, we need to confirm with curators to check what to do,
