A single headed arrow means that the element at the tail of the arrow creates hyperlinks in its output that automatically calls the element at the arrowhead. For example, whenever the contig viewer refers to an EST sequence, it links the ID to information about the EST from the Sequence ID element. The GO Browser and the Sequence ID elements allow users to download the appropriate FASTA files. Additionally, the GO Browser and Gene Association elements provide links to external information about reference sequences.
