Save Your Search Results
Transform your search results into new, searchable annotations that can be shared with collaborators and used in future analyses. Saving creates persistent datasets that maintain all filtering criteria and can be queried like any other annotation track.
What Saving Creates
When you save search results, Bystro generates a new annotation track containing only the variants that matched your search criteria. This saved track becomes searchable and can be combined with other filters in future searches.
How to Save Results
After running any search or applying filters, you can save the results by clicking the SAVE QUERY 💾 button in the results interface. This works with any search type - smart queries, manual filters, or complex multi-criteria searches.
Benefits of Saving Results
Collaboration
- ▶Share specific variant sets with team members
- ▶Create standardized gene panels for projects
- ▶Distribute curated variant lists to collaborators
Analysis Workflow
- ▶Build progressive filtering pipelines
- ▶Create reusable quality control filters
- ▶Combine multiple search criteria efficiently
Strategic Saving
Consider saving results at key analysis checkpoints:
- • Quality-filtered variants for your dataset
- • Gene panels for specific conditions or pathways
- • Candidate variants before functional validation
- • Population-specific frequency filters
Working with Saved Results
Saved annotation tracks appear in your search interface and can be used like any other annotation source. You can search within saved results, combine them with new filters, or use them as exclusion criteria for future searches.
