Fields

The cxg field command group helps you discover filterable dataset fields and explore their valid values.

Listing fields

Use cxg field list to see all filterable fields, their match behavior, and an example value:

cxg field list

Field values

Use cxg field values to enumerate unique values for a specific field across the corpus. This only works for fields with enumerable corpus values (ontology and controlled vocabulary fields). Use cxg field list to see which fields are supported.

# List all organisms
cxg field values organism

# List all tissues
cxg field values tissue

# List all assay types
cxg field values assay

Options

# Sort alphabetically instead of by count
cxg field values tissue --sort-by label

# Only show values with at least 10 datasets
cxg field values tissue --min-count 10

# Output as JSON or TSV
cxg field values tissue --output json
cxg field values tissue --output tsv
