The index has been created by the Glimpse search engine.
For more directed searches, you can use the Sequence Retrieval System SRS .
- Search keywords may be any word appearing in SWISS-PROT or TrEMBL. The lines that have been
indexed are: AC, ID, DE, GN, OS, OC, RX, RC, RA, RT, RL, CC, DR, KW, FT lines.
The DT, RN, RP, SQ lines and the sequences are not indexed, because they do not contain information that is useful in this context.
- Characters allowed as part of a 'word' are _-#'(),./*.
- The search is case insensitive.
- Wildcards may be used to search with partial words. However,
the use of wildcard is only possible through the checkbox
'Prefix and append wildcard '*' to words'.
If you enter '*' as part of a search keyword, it will not be expanded
to have the wildcard meaning: the program will then search for all words
containing the '*' symbol.
Example: 'ii*' in OMPA_ECOLI.
- You can use AND, OR and NOT to restrict your search, with braces
(i.e. '{' and '}') to specify the order.
Please note that parentheses (i.e. '(', ')') may be part of certain words
in SWISS-PROT (e.g. 'nad(+)') and can therefore not be used to group
your search expressions.
- If words are given without any boolean operator (AND, OR, NOT), these
words will be searched as adjacent words in the database(s).
- Example of searches:
- heat shock: will list entries containing "heat shock" (adjacent words).
- atpase AND coli: will list entries containing both "atpase" and "coli".
- coli AND {atpase OR atp synthetase}: will list entries containing "coli" and either "atpase" or "atp synthetase".
- atpase NOT coli: will list entries containing "atpase", except those containing "coli".
- aldehyde:
- with the option 'Prefix and append wildcard '*' to words':
will list entries containing "aldehyde", as well as "glyceraldehyde", "lactaldehyde", "aspartate-semialdehyde", etc.
- without the option'Prefix and append wildcard '*' to words':
will only list entries containing the exact word "aldehyde".
