The phrase can be a complete or partial gene name, protein name, metabolite
name, pathway name, or Gene Ontology term.
<li> The second tier of searching allows more elaborate object-specific
searches, under the Search menu.  For example, Search->Gene/Proteins/RNAs
allows you to formulate searches that filter based on gene or protein name,
sequence length, molecular weight, cellular location, etc.

object types, and are typically used for global analysis of <i>E. coli</i>.
See Search->Advanced.

Other searches under the Search menu include ontology-based searching
and searches against the full text of <i>E. coli</i> articles available

This db tells you practically everything you ever wanted to know about a gene or protein.  When you insert the query, the output allows a decision between the gene or its protein product.  Most of the information is in the form of links.  In fact, 90% of the page is link-able, which could get messy if you don't quite know what you are looking for.  The information in EcoCyc is also specifically referenced, with the bibliography at the bottom of the linked page.

Technology

EcoCyc runs in two modes. The desktop mode that you install locally on a Macintosh, PC, or Linux box is faster and has more extensive features than the Web version, and is what most heavy users employ. The web server mode provides information via the Internet. More information on these modes: EcoCyc Modes

The Pathway Tools software behind EcoCyc is written in Common Lisp. Pathway Tools has been applied to hundreds of other genomes, within BioCyc and by groups outside SRI.
