Examples

• Examples of Simple Retrieval Searches
  • Performing a keyword search
    • Using the wild card
      • What publications mention anything that starts with let-6?
    • Performing an exact search
      • What publications mention let-6 exactly?
    • Searching multiple terms
      • Does let-7 regulate development?
      • Is there a correlation between caloric restriction and aging in the worm literature?
  • Performing a search using ontology classes
    • To locate abstract types based on title
      • Which abstracts mention an allele and a biological process in the title?
    • To locate publications containing particular facts
      • What publications talk about genetic regulation in cells?
  • Combining ontology classes and keywords in a search
    • Example one
      • What genes does daf-16 associate with?
    • Example two
      • Which proteins localize in AB cells?
• Examples of Advanced Retrieval Searches
  • A few words before we start .....
  • Finding out about your favorite gene:
    • Example: eat-4
      • What does eat-4 encode?
      • In what cells is eat-4 expressed?
      • What are the published phenotypes for eat-4 mutants?
    • Example:lin-12
      • What genes are downstream of lin-12 signaling pathway?
      • At what stage(s?) in C. elegans development is lin-12 expressed?
    • Example:lin-2
      • Does lin-12 undergo alternative splicing and, if so, what are the products?
  • Finding out about a particular biological process:
    • Example: Ras signaling
      • What genes are involved in Ras signaling?
      • How does Ras signaling effect cell(s?)?
• Examples of Fact Extraction Searches (feature not implemented yet!)
