This function allows you to select genes based on certain criteria, which may be useful for detailed [query adjustments](docId\:fnr1Vl5zxsmM8JOMxdyc5), [functional enrichment analysis](docId:-p-TocFcINjHyxTCb7Fnb), etc. 

- **Select Local Cluster**: Mark all genes connected to your selected gene. This may be useful to identify clusters within a nested graph.
- **Select Highlighted Nodes**: Mark all genes [highlighted ](docId\:m7smw8R1-im0HIvXp3-Rm)in the graph.
- **Select Filtered Nodes**: Mark genes based on selected [filtering ](docId:80pwGD7DRq3oQe534aHih)criteria.
- **Select Community**: Select the community connected to a certain gene. This is calculated using the [Leiden algorithm in Neo4j](https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/algorithms/leiden/), and may be useful to detect gene communities within large graphs.   
- **Select All Nodes**: Select all the genes within the graph.
