Using NCBI

Searching

Searching across databases can be done using Entrez. Alternatively, use the pull-down menu to specify searching within a specific database. NCBI Entrez Protein: query by protein_id (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Protein&cmd=Retrieve&list_uids=1788157&dopt=GenPept)
NCBI PubMed: query by gene name OR b# AND Escherichia coli (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Search&db=PubMed&term=%28edd+OR+b1851%29+AND+escherichia+coli&tool=fuzzy&ot=%28edd+OR+b1851%29+AND+%27Escherichia+coli%27%29)
NCBI Entrez Gene: query by gene_id (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene&cmd=retrieve&dopt=graphics&list_uids=946362)
NCBI Entrez Genome: query by gene name (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/altvik.cgi?gi=115&db=g&gene=edd)
