2) Sample type: Three sample types are provided for selection. Tissue, cell line and motif score. Select appropriate from the combo box.

3) Data type: Six data types are available for selection from the combo box.

4) Portal: All the available portals are listed here. Select a portal if you want to limit your search to that particular portal.

5) Keyword: This could be a name of experiment, a word in description or reference.
