Outline • This quick start tutorial will take you through: • Where the search box is located? • What can you use the Search Box for? • Functionality related with VectorBase “Tools and Resources”. • Truncation as a search strategy • How can you cite VectorBase if you use our website? • How to search for more information or help ? Search
1. Where the search box is located? • On the header, in the right hand corner of every page of the VectorBase site. Search
1. Where the search box is located? • The search box is also found in the front page of the Genome Browser. Search
2. What can you use the Search Box for? • To search for genes or its info such as annotation or experimental evidence: • Gene IDs: e.g., AGAP013149, CPIJ020021. • Gene descriptions: e.g., cuticular, midgut. • Gene symbol: e.g., CPR34, GPROP1. • Microarray Probe/reporter: e.g., DV-11, NIID_39990540230. • The hits (results) may take you to the Genome Browser, GDAV transcriptome, Ontology Browser, Expression Browser, CAP or to a proteome. Search
2. What can you use the Search Box for? • Controlled vocabulary terms from VectorBase ontologies: • IDIOMAL (malaria ontology), e.g. vector-host interaction. • MIRO (insecticide resistance), e.g. WHO paper kit DT. • TGMA (mosquito anatomy), e.g. fat body. • TADS (tick anatomy), e.g., adult coxal pore. • The hits (results) may take you to the Ontology Browser the Population Biology Browser, the Expression Browser, the Genome Browser or GDAV transcriptomes. Search
2. What can you use the Search Box for? • Search strategies • Your hits can be filter by: • Domain and sub-domain, i.e. data type and/or tool or resource. • “Species”, currently nine species and three A. gambiaestrains. • Your hits can be expanded by truncation. Truncation locates multiple forms of a word by adding an asterisk (“*”): • e.g., sphingomy*: will return sphingomyelinand sphingomyelinase. Search
2. What can you use the Search Box for? • Example using filter and truncation: Search
3. How you can cite VectorBase? • Megy K, Emrich SJ, Lawson D, et al 2012. VectorBase: improvements to a bioinformatics resource for invertebrate vector genomics. Nucleic Acids Res. 40(Database issue):D729-34. • Thank you! Search
