Content and Navigation

The "Gene Product Search Results" page provides a list of gene products matching a 'gene symbols or names' search. This search is matching (where assigned) the database identifier, the primary gene product name, systematic identifier or any synonyms used to refer to the gene product (I think what I have written here is wrong see comments below). The result is a list of the 'gene product names', and the 'organism'. Clicking on a 'gene product name' takes you to the "Gene Product Details" page. This page provides further information about the individual search hits including:

  1. Gene product information with database cross-references
  2. Access to the protein sequence
  3. All of the associations for the gene product

Advanced Query Options

If you would like to filter your "Gene Product Search Results" results on 'organism' or 'data source (database)' use the 'Filter' option on the menu bar. If you would like to search other fields (i.e. ***??? I'm not sure exactly what is being searched by default? see below) use the 'Advanced Query' option on the menu bar.

Notes (to be removed)

  • 1. This documentation will need to be updated when the search results relevence is implemented
  1. explain how to filter the search results, and what the filters are acting on (i.e. species and db filters are based on info about the gene products, but ontology and ev code filters are based on the terms associated with the gene product). Also say that you can select multiple options in each set

comment from Val I can't think of any reason why you would want to filter the products based on evidence code or ontology. I would only use these options when looking at annotations to a terms. I don't really use the product search anyway, as if I know the gene name I would come via the organism database, but this is really only a way to locate (usually) a single gene of interest (you can't use it to identify related genes because names are so inconsitent). The organism/database filters are useful here if you get 100's of results and you are only interested in one organism but I don't think the other filters aren't very menaingful in this context. comment from Val/ inconsistency gene symbols or names are bing searched (from front page) for advanced search "Name and symbol" is checked already (which field is this?)...but, gene symbol isn't checked?
