Mandatory fields for graph constructions are to specify genes and First Network options. You can either search for your own selected genes (see tab called *Search* and then select option* Genes*), query by predefined list of genes e.g. *Drug targets* (Resource: ChEMBL ([1](docId:7qmYSBpiOhulmiMeMlbbL))), *GO Terms* related genes, *Disease* related genes variants (Resource: ClinGen ([2](docId:7qmYSBpiOhulmiMeMlbbL))), *Rare Disease*s mutated genes (Resource: Orphadata ([3](docId:7qmYSBpiOhulmiMeMlbbL))), or [Mavatar curated list of genes](docId:-vnEz3H3bxwdbsZ9436Xy). Alternatively, you can [upload your own file](docId\:vZVydluL_sYAjo1U6eXKh) containing list of genes to query (e.g. list of differentially expressed genes optionally along with the fold changes) or base the graph on the [top interactions](docId\:vZVydluL_sYAjo1U6eXKh) to present the network edges with highest T-Values. In the next step select from the drop-down menus Tissue, Context, and Version of your interest (by default, the latest version of each network will be used). You can leave remaining parameters set as default and construct gene co-expression network by clicking *Generate Graph* – the orange button in the left bottom corner of the Generate Graph card.
