Help:Find Info
How do I find information about a gene/ gene product if I know the actual gene or gene product name?
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 lists 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/ gene product if I don't know the specific name or the product is called something else?
You need to perform a search. Type in the name of the item you wish to find and click the Search button. This will search text within the pages and will result in a list of pages where that word is located. Click the page link you want you will be taken to that page.
To find plasmid already in the wiki, type it in the search box and click the Go button.
