GENtle/Web interface
The GENtle web interface lets you access DNA and amino acid sequences from NCBI, as well as publications listed at PubMed. The interface also covers BLAST searches.
NCBI
[edit | edit source]Chosing Nucleotide or Protein, entering a sequence name/keywords, and hitting Search/ENTER will show the NCBI search results for that query. More results (if any) can be browsed with >>.
Double-clicking an entry will download and open the (annotated) sequence.
PubMed
[edit | edit source]The PubMed option gives new entry fields for author(s) (written "Lastname Initials", separated by ","), and date limitations (years), as well as a result sort option.
Double-clicking an entry will open a web browser window with the respective PubMed abstract page.
BLAST
[edit | edit source]Running a BLAST search for a DNA or amino acid sequence will open a new tab in the web interface, showing a countdown for the time the BLAST results are expected to arrive. Once loaded, the results are displayed as simple alignments.
Double-clicking an entry will open the found sequence.
