| Option | Parameters | Example | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clone | Performs a search for clones where the name, aliases or GenBank accession contains the query term | Find all Gateway clones in pENTR vector using the term pENTR. | ||
| Ecotype | Performs a search for all Ecotypes in TAIR where the full name,abbreviated name or alias contains the query term. | "Col" will find all Col accessions in the database. | ||
| EST/BAC EndTransposon | Performs a search for Expressed Sequence Tag Clones (ESTs) or BAC ends where the EST or BAC end name or GenBank accession contains the query term."75F4T7" Will find all EST or BAC ends containing 75F4T7 in the name. If you know the exact name, it may be faster to use the exact name option.all transposons in TAIR | "Copia" will find all transposons in TAIR with Copia in the name. | ||
| Gene | Performs a search for genes where the name, alias, locus code, description or Genbank sequence accession contains the query term. | "Flowering" will find all genes where the description or name(s) contains this term.. | ||
| Germplasm | Performs a search for all Germplasms in TAIR where the name or alias contains the query term. | "gl1" will find all germplasms (including ecotypes) where the name or alias contains the term. | ||
| Keyword | Performs a search for all KEYWORDS in TAIR where the name or external database identifier contains the query term. | "Kinase" will find all keywords containing the term kinase. "GO:0016301" will find all terms with that string in the name or id field..NOTE: Click on the keyword to link to the detail page to see all of the data types associated to the term. For example, to find genes by keyword, click on the keyword and then the link to genes from the keyword detail page.Library | ||
| Performs a search for all DNA libraries where the name or alias contains the query term | "two-hybrid' will find two hybrid libraries. | Marker | Performs a search for all genetic markers where the name,alias or type contains the query term | "SGNSNP" will find all SNP markers from the Stanford Genome Center."CAPS" will find all CAPS markers in the database. |
| People/Labs | Performs a search for Individuals or Organizations in TAIR database whose first or last name contains the query term. Does not search for combinations of first, last name | "Rhee" will find all people whose last name contains Rhee;" SALK" will find all organizations with this term in the name field.. | ||
| Polymorphism | Performs a search for all alleles/polymorphisms where the name or alias contains the query term. | "MASC" will find all polymorphisms from the MASC project. | ||
| Protein | Performs a search for all proteins in the database where the name, alias, locus code, GenBank accession, UniProt id or protein domain name or identifier contains the query term. | "MADS" will find all proteins having a MADS box domain. | ||
| Seed Stock | Performs a search for all seed stocks in the database where the name or alias contains the query term. | "SAIL" will find all of the Syngentia SAIL lines. | ||
| DNA Stock | Performs a search for all DNA stocks such as clones, clone ends (BAC end, ESTS),pooled genomic DNA, vectors, libraries, filters and host strains where the STOCK name or alias contains the query term. | Use"BUN10" or the Stock number "CD3-626" to find the host strain for the pUNI vector.. | ||
| Vector | Performs a search for all vectors in TAIR database (including those that are NOT ABRC stocks) where the name or alias contains the query term. | Use "pEarlyGate" to find all of these vectors. | ||
| Google TAIR Website | Using this option performs a search of the web pages at TAIR and NOT the database. Some of the data at TAIR is displayed in 'static' pages on the website and are not stored in the database. For example, the lists of community curated gene families are in this format. This search uses standard Google syntax meaning multiple terms can be used along with boolean operators (and, or, not) along with phrases. | Flower development will find all TAIR webpages containing the terms flower and/or development. Use quotes (e.g. "Flower development") to find the exact phrase as written.. | ||
| Exact Name Search | Use this option to search ALL of the data types listed above with an exact match to the query term in the name field. Names also include aliases (alternative names) for the object. | To find the gene PHOT1 enter either Phot1 (symbol), phototropin (full name) NPH1 (alias) or AT3G45780 (locus code). |
Advanced or Specific Searches
...
These options let you search within specific data types in TAIR. The data types are listed on the left. The search option appears to the right of each data type. When you select the search option for a data type, the advanced search form is opened. The specific search is most useful if you know the type of data you seek. Click on the 'Search" link to go to the advanced search for the specified data type. Clicking on the 'Help' link will take you to help documents describing how to use the search and understand the search results. Click on the 
circled question mark to see a definition of a term or datatype or tool.
