How do I find information about a particular gene or its product
Type the gene name into the search box on the left and click Go. You will be taken directly to the Quickview page for that gene. Once there, you may select the specific tab to display the desired information.
If the gene product's name is the same as the gene name,e.g. DnaK and dnaK, typing the product name into the search box and clicking Go will take you directly to the Quickview page. However, when the product and gene names are different, e.g. sigma70 and rpoD, you will be taken to a page of Search Results that lists Article title matches and Page text matches. Scroll through the list to find the page you want, which is usually at or near the top of the list. For example, a search for sigma70 will yield a list of Page text matches where the second item is "rpoD::Gene Product(s)."
How do I find information about a gene product if I don't know the name of the gene that encodes it?
Type the name of the gene product in the search box on the left and click the Search button. This will search for matching text within EcoliWiki and produce a page of Search Results listing the pages that contain the text you searched for. Scroll through the list to find the page you want and click on its link to be taken to that page.
Type the plasmid name in the search box on the left and click the Go button. If the plasmid has been entered in EcoliWiki you will be taken to that page. See [Category:Plasmids] for a list of plasmids that have been entered in EcoliWiki.
==How do I get papers inputed into the wiki?
How do I find additional help if I need it?
