The WebComparator is a web-based graphical
interface that permits comparison of expression profiles of homologous genes across
a wheat1 and barley2 tissue series. Included tissues are: 
root tissue at two different developmental stages, leaf, crown, caryopsis, anther,
pistil, inflorescence, bracts, mesocotyl, endosperm, embryo and coleoptile.

Usage:
- Select a species: wheat or barley
- Select 'probeset name' or 'function' to seach by
- Type in term (complete or partial) and press Submit button
- Choose a Probeset from the list of matches
- You can also upload .txt file with a list of probesets (one per line)
After submission you will be provided with:
- The homologous cluster relevant to your probeset
- A comparison of expression profiles on an interactive chart
- Annotation
- Comments/warnings pertaining to sequence quality
To get a better appreciation of the meaning of the results, please see the online Tutorial.
