The SAGE Library Finder Tool can find any SAGE library.
The search first returns a single library
or a list of libraries, each of which is linked to its own Library Info page where details
of the library and its preparation can be found.
| What to Put In the Search Fields
|
| Search Field
|
Options |
| Tissue Type |
Keep the default setting of "Any" to search all tissue types, or select
one specific tissue. |
| Tissue Preparation |
Keep the default setting "Any" that includes all library preparation methods
listed in
Tissue Preparation Overview, or choose one specific method.
|
| Tissue Histology |
Keep the default setting "Any" that includes normal, pre-cancerous, and cancer histology,
or select a specific histology. |
| Library Name |
With all of the above settings at default, enter the exact
name of a SAGE library, e.g., SAGE_Heart_normal_B_1
to find a specific library. Or use part of the library string, e.g., Heart, carcinoma, control
to find a subset of libraries.

| Order results by | Select one of the four criteria
to order the list of libraries on the Library List page. |
| Examples of Library Searches |
There are many combinations of library criteria and therefore you
can search the library collections from many different vantage points. Here
are some examples:
- Select "prostate" and "cancer", to generate a list of
all human prostate cancer libraries. Add "microdissected" to the query to limit
the search to only microdissected libraries.
- Select "brain", "normal", and "cerebellum" to find all libraries dedicated to this subclass.
The results of a given library search are returned on the Library List page.
All the libraries are contained in a table that has five criteria: Name, Tissue, Histology,
Preparation and Keywords. By selecting one of the four criteria (in #2 of
the Library Tool), you can order and reorder the libraries.
For example, the same cancerous prostate
libraries could be ordered by:
- Preparation, which lists the bulk libraries first, followed by the cell lines, and
finally the microdissected libraries.
- Histology, which lists the cancer libraries first, followed by the
precancer and finally the normal libraries.
The Library Info Page provides information about the library, and includes:
- Library reference information and keywords
- The number of clones and sequences generated to date
- Library construction details
- The name and type of vector
- The lab host
- Tissue supplier and library producer
