How does the “auto-complete” function work?
The auto-complete function simplifies the selection of genes, pathways, tissues, authors, SNPs, and other biomedical concepts by providing a drop-down list of matches for you to pick from as you type. In order to provide the most appropriate suggestions, it uses a combination of biological and medical ontologies and other proprietary heuristics. The use of “auto-complete” is optional, and you can simply type in your term and press the Enter key to bypass it.
