Introduction to Search Options
Overview
The Search tools presented on the start page facilitate text-based searches of the BKL to find reports that pertain to genes or proteins, miRNAs, diseases, pathways, drugs, transcription factors and positional weight matrices.
Two basic search options are provided:
The default keyword search broadly searches across all available entities (as determined by subscription) based on their ranked relevance to the search term, while topic-specific searches may be performed by clicking the 'View more search options' link. Topic specific searches typically support searching by names (common names, gene symbols), accepted identifiers or in some cases by simply browsing. Please note that disease, pathway, and drug search options are only available by subscription to the PROTEOME module, and that transcription factor and matrix search options are only available by subscription to the TRANSFAC module.
Access to topic specific searches
Results of Searches can be accessed directly, saved, exported, sent to the BKL Pathfinder (in the case of genes and proteins) or used as the input for a secondary 'Search within Results' search. The Quick Search Tools are accessible from the main search page by clicking the 'View more search options' link under the default search box.
Results of a Genes or proteins topic search
Keyword Search
The keyword search allows you to search the seven main BKL topics simultaneously using a single query. The count of results found for each topic is given in the yellow summary box. Click the appropriate link to load the search results for the desired topic.
Each result returned is tagged with a phrase that describes why the result was identified by the search. A description of the tags is provided in the following table:

The ranking of individual results within a topic is determined by the number and significance of search terms matched. For example, the disease "Ovarian neoplasms" will be ranked highest in a search for "ovarian cancer" because the terms "ovarian", "cancer" and "ovarian cancer" are all names or synonyms for the disease "Ovarian neoplasms". The disease "Breast neoplasms" will be ranked lower in the same search because even though the term "cancer" is a synonym associated with the disease "Breast neoplasms", the term "ovarian cancer" is only associated with it as the synonym of a gene/protein that is associated with the disease.
If you wish to search a given topic using more specific criteria, use one of the topic searches offered under the "View more search options" link.
Topic Specific Searches
Seven Topic specific searches options are provided:
Genes and Proteins Search
To perform a search for genes and proteins, click the Genes and proteins radio button under the 'View more search options' link:
Genes and proteins search option
The Genes and proteins search provides five search options:
1. Search by name. Click the 'Name' radio button, leave the species pull-down menu set to the default to search all species or alternatively select a species to restrict your search to, type your desired search term into the search box and click the 'search' button.
The search engine queries gene and protein symbols within the name and synonyms fields (i.e. BRCA1, Ste12, NAC1). Entries are automatically wildcarded unless enclosed in double quotes (i.e. a search for BRCA will return ATBRCA1 and BRCA2 among other entries, but a search for "BRCA1" will not). Multiple names can be separated by an OR delimiter (i.e. a search for BRCA1 PSEN1 will return no results, but a search for BRCA1 OR PSEN1 will return multiple results). Once a species has been selected, a cookie will be set so that the search remembers your species preference for future searches until the Browser cache is cleared or another species has been selected.
2. Search by identifier. Click the 'Identifier' radio button, leave the identifiers pull-down menu set to the default to search all identifiers or alternatively select a type of identifier to restrict your search to (specifying the desired identifier via the pull-down menu is recommended for optimal performance), type your desired identifier into the search box and click the 'search' button.
The search engine queries BIOBASE (i.e. GN000007472, GN000003965, GN000223298) or 3rd party (i.e. Entrez Gene 672, UniProt P38398) identifiers as specified by the selection chosen from the pull-down menu. Entries are always treated as exact searches. Multiple identifiers can be separated by an OR delimiter (i.e. an EntrezGene search for 672 5663 will return no results, but an EntrezGene search for 672 OR 5663 will return BRCA1 and PSEN1), but note that all identifiers must be of the same type otherwise only the first identifier will be matched. For optimal performance it is recommended that the identifier type be specified (as opposed to searching "all" identifiers) and that no more than 50 identifiers be submitted at one time. Once an identifier has been selected, a cookie will be set so that the Quick Search remembers your identifier preference for future searches until the Browser cache is cleared or another species has been selected.
Searching for multiple names or identifiers is best done using the Upload genes and proteins in bulk option described in more detail here.
3. Search by BLASTp. Click the 'BLASTp' radio button to open a customized dialog box. Once it opens, copy and paste up to five FASTA-formatted sequences into the provided box, set the desired parameters, and click the 'blast' button.
For details of the BLAST search, click here. The BLASTp option requires a subscription to the PROTEOME module. To perform a BLAST search specific to transcription factors, click the Transcription factors radio button under the 'View more search options' link and then click the BLASTp radio button. The Transcription factors BLASTp option requires a subscription to the TRANSFAC module.
4. Search by TF binding site. Click the 'TF binding site' radio button to search for genes by a site accession (i.e. R00001) or site identifier (i.e. HS$IFI6_01).
The search engine queries the site accession and identifier fields, returning the gene which contains the site and the transcription factor which binds the site. The TF binding site option requires a subscription to the TRANSFAC module.
5. Browse by ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq experiments. Click the 'ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq experiments' link to view a list of included ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq data sets organized by transcription factor. Click the 'View Report' button for any report to read a summary of the experiment and access pre-formatted data for export and further analysis. For more information, click here.

1. Search by name. Click the 'Name' radio button, leave the species pull-down menu set to the default to search all species or alternatively select a species to restrict your search to, type your desired search term into the search box and click the 'search' button.
The search engine queries miRNA symbols within the name and synonyms fields (i.e. MIR122, hsa-mir-155). Entries are automatically wildcarded unless enclosed in double quotes (i.e. a search for MIR122 will return MIR1224 and MIR1225 among other entries, but a search for "MIR122" will not). Multiple names can be separated by an OR delimiter (i.e. a search for MIR122 hsa-mir-155 will return no results, but a search for MIR122 OR hsa-mir-155 will return multiple results). Once a species has been selected, a cookie will be set so that the search remembers your species preference for future searches until the Browser cache is cleared or another species has been selected.
2. Search by identifier. Click the 'Identifier' radio button, leave the identifiers pull-down menu set to the default to search all identifiers or alternatively select a type of identifier to restrict your search to (specifying the desired identifier via the pull-down menu is recommended for optimal performance), type your desired identifier into the search box and click the 'search' button.
The search engine queries BIOBASE (i.e. RI000007045, RI000000949) or 3rd party (i.e. miRBase MIMAT0000646, TaqMan 002623) identifiers as specified by the selection chosen from the pull-down menu. Entries are always treated as exact searches. Multiple identifiers can be separated by an OR delimiter (i.e. a miRBase search for MIMAT0000646 MIMAT0004658 will return no results, but an EntrezGene search for MIMAT0000646 OR MIMAT0004658 will return hsa-miR-155-5p and hsa-miR-155-3p), but note that all identifiers must be of the same type otherwise only the first identifier will be matched. For optimal performance it is recommended that the identifier type be specified (as opposed to searching "all" identifiers) and that no more than 50 identifiers be submitted at one time. Once an identifier has been selected, a cookie will be set so that the Quick Search remembers your identifier preference for future searches until the Browser cache is cleared or another species has been selected.
