The above sample search would detect papers by Walbot discussing Mutator. Other interesting searches include Chandler transposable elements, sh1, or countless others.


This search can be executed on every page on the site with the search box the upper right corner. Choose "reference" from the drop-down menu, enter your search term in the field, and hit return to find the reference you're looking for.


PubMed Search: We spend time actively curating our references, relating them to author records and in many cases extracting data from the references. Thus, we may not have the most recent references for a given topic. If we don't have the reference(s) you are looking for, use PubMed's simple, keyword search (PubTator), or advanced search.

Reference Abstract Search: This search allows you to dig through the hand-curated reference abstracts for a particular set of terms you might be interested in; the search will find all of the papers with abstracts containing the terms. Try the sample search below to see the results one might get.

Discussion of Reference Data for the General Public
