Multiple experiments can be performed per PLAZA instance, depending on a combination of the following settings/options

  • Data type (e.g. GO, InterPro)
  • Collapsing of tandem genes to the tandem representative (yes/no)
  • Minimum/maximum size of cluster
  • Minimum/maximum number of functionally related genes within a cluster
  • E-value cut-off
