# Gene Expression Filtering

To filter with gene expression data, you can add a filter based on the tiles created in the Gene Expression tab or  use the “+ Add Filter” button in the Cohort Banner.&#x20;

## **These filters allow for:**

* Assessing impact of genes/ features and their expression levels
* Building Cohorts based on Gene Expression Level&#x20;

## **You Can Filter By:**

* Gene Symbol or Ensembl ID with Expression Level

## Adding Gene Expression Filters

1. Add in your dataset
2. Select "+ Add Filter"
