I uploaded a custom list to the graphing page in the explore your data section, but there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do with these cell lines after that. There are no options to display or color these cell lines in the graphs. I thought I could do this in the past. I am using Google Chrome Version 123.0.6312.87 to look at the Depmap portal. ---

If you define a list of cell lines (which we call a "context) via Cell Line Selector (which is what you’re using if you use the “Create/edit List” option in Data Explorer) then you can use that context for running two-class comparisons or “highlighting” cell lines on plots. In the version of the portal which is released to the public this is called, “Find cell lines” under “View Options” ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/depmap/original/2X/b/bb46eb733404c239746e150b1cb04914f214e186.png) However, in the next update to the portal, the controls are quite different and includes an option to color by ‘context’.
